Talking about how the students aren't friendly it is a two way street for everyone it is very easy to get along. I love this school because every student is more like a brother or sister. The relationship that the students have with each other is the most unique bond that you will ever see. The academics are great, last school year we were the number one school on the paws test in writing. Some people think that the four day week is no good and that it doesn't work but i believe that we have shown everyone that it does work.
Students are not very friendly to outsiders and new students often have a hard time 'fitting in.' Student to teacher ratio is excellent, but curriculum in the same middle school class is not very differentiated. They have four day school weeks, with 45 minute classes each week in middle school; that means 45 minutes less in science, math, language arts, etc. per week than 5 day schools which does add up over the year.
Meeteetse schools is a k-12 facility...thats ok but the real problems lies in the administration...... we have lost several good students and excellent teachers due to this. Teachers aren't allowed to speak their opinion unless they want to loose their jobs along with parents aren't allowed to express their thoughts and if that happens the superintendent will ban you from the properties. We go through principals every two years due to the superintendent. The students are the ones suffering...the school board lets the superindent do whatever he wants
This school could be great - it has an excellent teacher/student ratio, good teachers, and substantial funding. There is a lot of pressure to participate in sports, however, often at the expense of academics. Parent involvement is discouraged by the administration and there is no PTA. Small town politics often get in the way of the student's best interests. I would recomend it for k-5 only.
