Three-Year Transition Plan
Merritt Academy will transition to an elementary school for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade beginning with the 2011-2012 school year. All students earmarked for the middle school for the 2011-2012 school year will proceed to 7th & 8th grade and graduation. However, these will be our final middle school students.
