School Reviews
| 5 I think that the teachers are amazing! I have gone here all year and I have been in MERIT throughout the years. I have met every single teacher, and they have all treated me the same. They love me and I love them so much! - Posted by Student/Alumni - Pink-Jincess |
| 2 I think sometimes the teachers can be bullies. Parents should be aware, what they say to us and how they treat our kids when we are not there, is totally opposite! - Posted by Parent - tvall |
