Disappointed

I am very disappointed with the lack of communication from the school. My child is a new student at the school starting grade 8. It is mid January now and I have not received any information on when they open, what happens when they open. I was told that I would be emailed the stationery list, I am still waiting. I am not even looking forward to my child going there anymore because I am soo disappointed. If things start off like this it is obvious that it will be a constant struggle with them. The only thing they consistently send to you are payment statements.

Worst curro school ever

They never resolve any complaints brought to them.. My son was bullied went to speak to the head of high school till today I haven't received any feedback..

And most recently a history teacher lost my child's June exam script.. They were made to rewrite without any communication with us parents..

Very bad

Meridian has to be one of the worst schools i have ever come across. I dont advise anyone who wants to go there as a student teacher to go. Especially at the primary side. Most teachers there especially at the primary side are very unwelcoming . Some when you greet them they keep quite for some reason. The management there is just so crazy. They overwork student teachers and take advantage of them and they dont even pay them for that work. Meridian is the worst.

High School

High School Review

I've been in this school for almost 4 years and I have experienced a lot of good and bad things. The school's main focus is education. They put intense pressure on us students to achieve very high marks and because of this pressure I have seen many students have mental breakdowns in the bathrooms,classrooms and surrounding areas. The school doesn't really care about students mental health. In all the years I've been there I always see people ask the school to get a psychologist but so far nothing. I know it's not a matter of money. If you want to go to Meridian for sports I suggest you look elsewhere for the next 2 years. The school's previous executive head, only prioritised education and other things were placed on hold. For 2 years prior to COVID, the only way for us to have had a training session or match with other schools we had to beg the educators for weeks. I have hope in the new executive head. She seems as if she understands that not everyone is gifted when it comes to education and she seems to want the students to achieve greatness in what they are best at. The school doesn't have a library or lab which is something I will always find weird. The food is okay but not healthy at all. I think some of the educators don't like teaching because I've had a teacher sit down and gossip with us instead of teaching for a whole 3 months. Meridian needs to improve on the sports and mental health awareness. Bullying used to be an issue but they dealt with it nicely not smoothly though.

Terrible

It's bad. The school doesn't really care about you. Most of teachers disrespect students. The advertising is false and the classrooms are in bad condition. The only good thing is the food.

Average

Honestly Meridian Cosmo City has to be one of worst schools. Especially the high school. They don't care about students' mental health, there is pressure from all different angles. If you want to go further in sports or any extra curricular activities I'd suggest you try other schools.

Good experience

Meridian Cosmo city is a very strict school, capable of what they are doing making sure that it's on point the uniform is also on point school is clean and non chaos school it's a very good school you get there you face problems they do all it takes to solve your problems or issues with anything or anyone and make sure that you're safe and doing good. I'll recommend the school to everyone. When talking about best schools, Meridian is the best school ever/that I've attended you get there with any level of educational knowledge of and when you go out there they make sure that you are satisfied with learning and education and that your mind is well trained. Meridian Cosmo city they know what they are doing there...they don't play. They don't give out false information.

Meridian Cosmo City

This is a school that doesn't consider the safety of the children outside of school and has a high amount of crime and bullying.
