Merkel High School was decent. Although not the best school, definitely not the worst. I would allow my children to go there. However, I would pay close attention to the information being taught. The teachers aren't terrible-- many of them are pretty average. There are a view not so good ones and a few brilliant ones. The school really tries to be innovative. However the ideas usually fall flat or are not properly done.
My experience is extremely great. When my father passed the facility stood by my family and my side through it all. I really do love Merkel High School, it's a great place to be and as always it is a great day to be a Merkel Badger
Merkel High School challenges and pushes their students to strive for excellence. The parents stay involved with the school and children. The sports program does not have many kinds but is good at what they have.
