Merritt Academy

"As a student of Merritt Academy, I DO NOT recommend this school at all! The staff picks favorites and discriminates. The students get bullied and in trouble for no reasonable thing. The staff decides to discipline the students in a serious situation by telling them to figure it out on their own and calls them liars. They say the mission is to build character development when they teach everyone to be the same and if the don’t abide by those rules then they will find any reason to get the acting party in trouble. This schools doesn’t care at all about their students as long as they get money and more students. My mother recommended this school to everyone and even she agrees that the teachers are petty. One teacher screams at me all the time and purposely tries to make me upset and cry. Not to mention the school hallways are disgusting. The staff forces the students to clean it. Earlier in the year there was poop written on the walls. One child couldn’t hold what was in his stomach for lack of better words and told the student to clean it up. The list goes on with how badly this school treats it’s students. I hope you find a better school because if this is what a school considers a family ,then I would hate to be apart of it any longer. My parents are considering homeschooling me. I’m sorry if you or your child has to ever experienced something so cruel."

"As a parent I'm happy about the overall quality of staff. If I've ever had a problem it has been addressed by staff promptly.. I like the teachers my child has had over the last years. I would recommend this school to any parent who likes to be involved with their children.. The IEP STAFF is top notch!"

"I went to this school, I highly don't recommend it. Got bullied and non of the teachers help, in fact the teachers bully you for having a learning disorder like what happened to me. They refused to help and they gave us more work, separate us from the smarter kids from the "dumber" kids. There is this think called "Zap" where if you don't do your homework you get detention. I had zap for a bunch of times. I couldn't do my homework because they will stack up the homework and they wont help. Do NOT take your child to this school, it was hell for me and I don't even call this a school. I call this prison. Had to give this a star to tell my story."

"Merritt Academy is a terrific learning institution. The staff provides a good balance of caring and discipline while giving the students a superior education. We are very pleased with the education our children are receiving. We are certian that the education they are receiving is providing them with a stong base for higher education and a positive future!!"

"I love this school, they have one of the most caring, helpful staff I've know, especially the office Mis Rosie is like the school Mom, Nurse, caregiver. She cares about all the student's goes out of her way for each and everyone one, she truly puts her heart into her work. We been through a lot the last couple of years and this school and ALL the staff has done so much to help and support. My son will not go to any other school I drive 101 miles a day there and back 4 times a day and if it wasn't for this staff and the REAL CARE, SUPPORT, TRULY WANTING TO HELP THE KID'S SUCCEED, I wouldn't do it. It is truly a great school for anyone wanting the best for there kid's. You won't find a better school with a great office staff principal vice principal office caregivers teachers and athletic department. They have a teacher that stays after school every day a different teacher and they call it ninth hour and they're there to help the kids to get caught up with extra help and then and that just shows how much they care about wanting the kids to succeed."
