MERIDIAN ACADEMY

MERIDIAN ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the JOINT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 2 school district, located in MERIDIAN, ID with about 167 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, MERIDIAN ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

MERIDIAN ACADEMY, located at 2311 East Lanark Street in Meridian, Idaho, is a specialized educational facility operating under the West Ada School District. It serves as an alternative high school designed to provide a supportive, flexible, and focused learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional approach to their education. The academy emphasizes personalized instruction and smaller class sizes, allowing faculty to address the unique academic and social-emotional needs of each student in order to help them succeed in meeting graduation requirements.

The school is committed to fostering a culture of accountability and resilience, helping students navigate challenges while preparing them for life after high school. By focusing on credit recovery and individual pacing, MERIDIAN ACADEMY provides a vital pathway for students to earn their diplomas in a setting that is distinct from the comprehensive high school experience. Through dedicated staff and a structured curriculum, the school aims to empower students to reach their full potential and transition successfully into college, the workforce, or vocational training.
