I really like the music and arts department. I especially enjoy the theater department because everyone in there is so kind and welcoming. The environment of my school is also very good because all of us are different and unique in our own way and we embrace that fact and all are just like one happy family. The one thing that I wish my school was exceeding more in is academics. The English department hasn't been the best in the past but has improved a lot.

I feel like Merit Academy is an overall good high school to attend. The environment is a very positive one and I feel like the staff is also very helpful and understanding with what the kids go through and are very good listeners. I like that because its such a small school, that everyone can do everything. There is not one person at our school who does just one thing. We have students who play basketball as well are in jazz band and dance company and theater. I think that is absolutely amazing thing that everyone has the opportunity to do that. There's nothing that I don't particularly don't like about our school but if there was something I could change about our school, I think I would advertise more so that we could make a new theater room so that the theater kids and all the athletes don't have to fight over the gym. Overall I'd say my 4 years at Merit have been eventful and I wouldn't change a thing.

I liked how most teachers want you to actually succeed in school and will help until you have the best grade you can get, and the food was made by people who actually wanted you to go to lunch wanting it and it not only looked good but tasted great. The dress code at my school is very strict but it made us look like a good, almost professional school, and I love that we have CERT training to help us with life and how to help others.

I had a terrible experience at this school. It has been the greatest mistake to my eduacation to join this school. This school is inferior to public schools with regards to resources and consistent education. This school shows why structure is needed. DO NOT JOIN THIS SCHOOL IF YOU VALUE YOUR EDUCAT...

They’re racist, and don’t even hire teachers… they’re literally they’re student after they graduate high school with no higher education.

It was a good school because of the teachers, but because of not having donations, the best math teacher left, and this year 4 more teachers are leaving and the only perfect principal has left
