Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of the Doubletree Subdivision will have an impact on school enrollments at
Meridian Elementary School. Meridian Middle School and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house sixteen (16) elementary
aged children, fifteen (15) middle school aged children, and twelve (12) senior high aged
students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary
to bus students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
