Parent Rating Average
I am very pleased with the Meridian Intermediate School. We recently moved into the school district over this last school year. My son has a lot of issues (for lack of a better word) with school and I was very pleased and impressed with the way the principal and the staff were able to handle the situations that arose with him. This was the first school year (his 5th grade year) that he actually liked any part of going to school, due to the issues he has, and made friends at school. I was so scared to move him schools however I think this has been the best thing that could have ever happened for him in the end. We are looking forward to another great year in the Meridian School District this coming 2013-2014 school year.
