We love Meridian! All the teachers and staff are incredible and build special bonds with the kids. We have been there 4 years now and have not met a teacher we havent liked. I volunteer in the school from time to time and it always feels like such a warm and welcoming environment.

This school is great! Weve attended for the past 3 years and most was during the entire Covid season. The school was responsible with notifications. They pivoted well from live to virtual classes in a short period of time. The current principal and asst principal is very responsive to parent concerns and solves problems quickly. Annual testing needs to be reviewed.

Great school. Everyone has been helpful in helping my son adjust to this new experience. They watch out for him, call with concerns or to just let me know what is going on. His first grade teacher is amazing. I hope the next 5 years are just as great!

Wow, I am very surprised by the mediocre ratings. My daughter has thrived at Meridian. She is reading 2 grade levels ahead and has received nothing but praise and encouragement. We love the kinder. first and second grade teachers. The school loops when you move out of kinder. So, your student has the same teacher for 2 years, unless you ask to change. It's great. It allows the teacher and student to just get on with the academics. The teachers are well educated and use a variety of mediums to engage the children. I am very pleased and would remove my child, if I wasn't.
