    The food is, well, middle school food. Usually beans, rice, and very occasionally something nice like chicken nuggets. Personally, i prefer to bring my own school lunch. Most of the teachers are fantastic, although some have preferences for certain grades. On the social aspect, amazing. Last school i went to i mt like two friends, but this school allows for much more social contact. However, i feel that k-6 are very isolated, and all their classes happen inside of a small corridor, while middle school gets to explore the whole, amazing campus between classes.

    We absolutely love this school! It is a small and safe environment, where you end up getting to know all teachers, staff and parents. Kids feel like home as they know everyone and staff is really friendly and caring with them and us parents. The Principal is wonderful and is super involved with kids and all school issues and parents. She is everywhere!!! Our son loves everything about Ada Merritt!
