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 Chalet Marseilles Subdivision will have a significant impact on
school enrollments at Prospect Elementary School Sawtooth Middle School and
Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house thirty eight (38)
elementary aged students, thirty one (31) middle school aged students, and
twenty nine (29) 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 350-5016.
