Something I love about Meridian is how much they prepare us for college. We have a lot of opportunities for college classes, financial aid, application help, etc. from several teachers and it makes being a senior a lot less stressful. One thing I'm not very fond of at Meridian is the grading system. Assignments are graded based on a few categories, including Knowledge & Thinking (correct answers) and Agency (turning things in on time). Each assignment is then graded and the percentage is put into the category total. This process makes keeping or trying to raise grades very difficult, since one assignment can greatly affect the final grade.
The sports are what has made my high school experience amazing. I would say that we have some absolutely amazing teachers. Then, we have some teachers who do not seem to care and are rude to their students. I only attended the high school at Meridian. I saw the superintendent more often than the principal. I loved the sports, but our kids school spirit was not very good.
Meridian gave me the opportunity to participate in a dual-enrollment program at Delta College. This gave me a head start before entering college and I was able to go in with college credits.
