As a father Ive reached out multiple times hoping to resolve real problems, but management keeps shrugging them off. Two years in, staff keeps quittingalready on our third principal. Biggest red flags? Letting him ride without proper car seat, even after I pointed it out. In twenties-degree cold he went without hat or glovesno heads up. When he complained about being hot and threw up twice, thermometer sat unused and nobody called me. Emails about drop-off times? Wrong half the time, fixed never. Questions get vague answers or flat-out silence. Gate stays wide open during pick-up, sometimes no staff in sightcreepy. Small class, way ahead in work first grade sheet still shows satisfactory. Rules only apply when they feel like it. He likes the place, thats literally the only reason this review gets two stars. Principle & District Supervisor knowsdoes zip. Parents deserve respect, honesty & transparency.

I have only been at Merit for the elementary school. We had Ms. Robertson and she is an amazing teacher! When you think of a teacher you want for your kid, thats Ms. Robertson! Your child will not be bored in her class. She meets your kids where they are, and she cares for all her students. With my child having been online through covid, they needed help with handwriting. Not only does she have great handwriting, she also learned cursive this year, too! Ms. Robertson teaches in fun ways, and the kids really retain the information!
I also got to work with the 4th grade teacher, Ms. Smithson at Merit Girl Scouts, and she is an amazing teacher, too. She also goes out of her way for her students. She cares about all of them. I look forward to having her as a teacher next year. These two teachers are a great team and that is why I am reviewing The Merit School. The education has been great! My child made a lot of friends at this school, and its nice that bullying is not allowed.
