horrible, honestly. unless you have no hope for your kid or you want them to have interesting stories instead of an actual education, dont enroll your kids here.

they hate teaching and they certainly hated all of us. their methods were horrible and they couldnt have cared about anyone but themselves.

this is the most ableist school ive ever set foot in. told my friend with ADHD to focus and my friends with anxiety disorders to calm down. the teachers dont care to educate themselves and nobody will force them to do it due to the extreme budget cuts.

my friend got beat up here in the hallway, and the teachers were just watching. they refuse to help LGBT and disadvantaged people.

Some teacher and students at Meredith are occansionly rude. It kinda suck that teachers judge you base on the way they see you. For one example, just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I don't know English. Just because I don't look "normal" doesn't mean that you have to act like I'm from another planet. The thing that bother me the most is when I got picked on from another kids all the teacher ever did was stare at me... I get that teacher favor people who are normal right now or in the #greengang (litterly the dumbest thing I ever heard) but I just want the teachers to be respectful to other kids (there are some like about 5 or less) thank you for reading my rant.
