Summary:
The Meridian School District in Washington, a 4-star district ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide, operates two high schools for the 2024-2025 year: a traditional comprehensive high school and a small alternative program.
Meridian High School is the clear academic leader, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 78th percentile of all Washington high schools. It stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) program, where student proficiency is over 23 points above the state average, and for its strong 85.3% graduation rate. In contrast, Meridian Impact Re-Engagement serves a specialized role, providing re-engagement services for about 21 students who may need an alternative pathway to complete their education.
While Meridian High excels in ELA and science, its math scores are only slightly above average, indicating a key area for potential growth. The district shows a significant investment in its main high school, which spends nearly $20,000 per student, though it maintains a student-teacher ratio of about 21-to-1. Parents can be confident in the district's overall strong performance and the clear, upward trajectory of its flagship high school, which has improved its state ranking for three consecutive years.
