This is the worst school you could send your child to in Johnson county. They will not help a student at all who's being bullied no matter what you do. I have had 3 students that have had( and currently) to go to this school. They all tell me the same things. If your student stands up to a bully, your student will get suspended, yet the bully won't. The problem students cause a learning issue for the others. They yell at teachers and cuss them out. It's pathetic. Cmon man.. They have a 2 star review.. It would be much worse if they had not put the tool to remove your review.

I went here for my high school education. The art program is where I spent most of my time and inspired me to become a art teacher myself. Made good friends with the teachers in that program and felt a mutual respect between student and teacher. But in the other departments, there were issues. Fortunately the teachers that went out of their way to be misogynist or unprofessional towards the students left after my graduation. Mr.Ewers is a great principle from what I remember, making an effort to get to know the students on a individual level. The counselors did their best but often but their opinion about what classes would be best for you over your own, at the determent of your mental health or scheduled. My sisters now go to North and I'm excited for them, if not a little cautions in case they get a misogynist history teacher like myself. Overall, I got my diploma with a 3.9gpa without taking more than 3 AP classes and only 3 math classes. Lots of diversity while I was there and the queer community was very supported as there. The students are very outspoken and have a sense of self.

Both of our children had wonderful experiences at Merriam Park Elementary School. It is a great school.
