Meridian Charter High School

Posted June 19, 2006

This school is an overall good school. For those who want a technology based education in a small-scale environment, this is a great place to go. Unfortunately, there were a few downsides which made me greatly consider leaving the school. One obvious downside is the fact that all extra-curricular activities must be done at the home school. Typically, the home school gives the student more trouble than necessary simply because they don't attend. Other than that, it is still a great school compared to the other public schools around.

In a nutshell, this school is excellent. Advantages: The standards are high, so this school is for the student who would appreciate a challenging education and preparation for a prestigious university. The staff is dedicated to their craft. The atmosphere and overall attitude at the school supports an enviornment of high achievement--which is the norm, not the exception. The kids, no matter how cool or ackward, fit in here, which makes this a unique place for kids to learn. The school size is small, which offers kids opportunities not afforded at larger schools. The quarterly fitness day means the entire school participate in skiing or snowboarding in McCall or take advantage of other choice physical activities. The tech parties, philosophy club and Mr MTCH contest, and other clubs are fun for the students. Disadvantages: Sports, humanities, band etc will require participation at the neighborhood high school, which is permitted.

My experience in MTCHS has been better than any school I have ever attended. The Teachers are dedicated and love thier job and are fun to have teach since they try to make the class interesting. The students are actually motivated and work. And not to mention the low student body makes it easy to take a break from all the hustle of a normal high school. The higher grade standards (75% is passing as opposed to the usual 80%) garuntee that students are actually trying to make the grade. I know all this because I am currently a student at MTCHS

I do believe that this school has made a positive difference in the students that attend here. All of my kids have gone here, one has graduated and was on the honor roll, before she was average at best. My two sons who now attend find it very challenging, the older was always a below average student and has been on the honor role here. My youngest son is plugging along and enjoying the small class room experience plus the one on one help he gets from the teachers who want the kids to succeed and know each of them personally. The priciple and her staff are wonderfull, they know your kids, they help your kids and keep you as a parent informed and involved. I would recommend this school to any student that wants to make a future for themselves, only catch, they must be willing to work hard!
