My son attended Merrill RD VPk-2nd grade and we loved every bit of it. The staff , principal and especially the teachers are all amazing! My son had some of the best teachers here who were actually passionate about their job! The teachers kept me informed and communicated very well. The only thing I would say is that the traffic and be ridiculous at times.

As a parent of two alumni, I can attest that conflicts and substance abuse issues are inevitable; do not assume that a school with nearly three thousand students will be immune to these challenges. Nonetheless, the manner in which they are addressed is of utmost importance. As your child enrolls in this institution, ensure their participation in various programs offered, such as JROTC, culinary arts, and Dual Enrollment. It is essential to remember that your child continues to require guidance, and parents along with school staff collaborate to support the students' best interests.

I recommend not to apply for this school for future middle schoolers, because the teaching here is very harsh, gives too much work, and doesn't do much for anti-bullying. I am a fellow student here and a specific teacher is making me want to get homeschooled because he gives us way too much work (138 assignments) and he yells at us for no reason. My fellow classmate asked the teacher a question and the teacher just started arguing with her for 30 minutes straight. So if you want to apply your kid here I recommend not to.

I live in the neighborhood behind this place and they don’t shut up. They have kids out there, screaming at the top of their lungs all day and it’s disturbing the peace in our neighborhood. Please be mindful of your neighbors.
