Perry Meridian Middle School

This school has FAILED my child. My child is currently enrolled in 4th grade with SJoyce and as the parent of a special needs student, I am deeply disappointed by both the teachers conduct and the schools handling, or lack thereof, regarding any concerns. My child expressed discomfort and distress due to a clear lack of empathy, understanding, and proper training on how to properly support students with special needs. Despite bringing these concerns forward, the response from both the school administration as well as the district was slow, dismissive and utterly lacking in urgency. Emotional and physical safety should never be negotiable, yet it felt like the needs of my child were treated with utter disregard and as an afterthought. The involved teacher failed to demonstrate the professionalism and care that all students, especially those with unique learning needs, deserve. It is HIGHLY unacceptable that any student should feel unsafe or unsupported in a classroom. I expect far better from an institution tasked with educating and protecting our children. While I hope the school takes meaningful steps to address these gaps and lacks, I doubt they will. I would highly suggest NOT sending your special needs children here.

Highly effective. Kids and teachers are both smiling on a regular basis. Kids are learning the basics and are getting the opportunity to interact with professionals and state officials during their projects. Top notch!

Both the principals are very including, professional, and welcoming. Even to those who are not from the US, they are so patient and kind. Not only do they take time out their day to speak to students, they take the health of their kids very seriously. I struggled with mental health in the 5th grade. Mrs. Hardesty made it feel like a safe place for me. This is a school where you don’t worry. I genuinely love this school and if I hadn’t moved states, my kids would be attending.

I think they should focus on student much more.they have music classes bt no music is there..they have art classes bt no art is there.my son learned nothing from this school.

its the best and the teachers are good
