My son is now a Junior at Meridian and he has had a great few years here. I love the staff at this school and the parents are always involved with the students and the athletics. I was hesitant when we first moved here because we moved from a larger city but I found that this smaller community really pulls together. I'm really happy with where we are and look forward to his senior year.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) to test students in grade 11 in reading, math and science. The PSAE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
