I went to both middle schools in the district. Both Meridith Middle and Redding Middle. And I have to say, that MMS is definately better then Redding. The DSTP scores are higher at Meridith and in MMS it actually seems like teachers care. In Redding, there are current interruptions in classrooms by disrespectful teachers.
