Here’s a smart idea: schools you can walk (or bike) to.

That bike ride or walk to school does far more than make a parent’s life easier. It’s excellent exercise and a surefire way to build friendships with the neighbor kids. At Meridian Ranch, you’ll see a daily stream of children commuting on their own two legs, thanks to schools located nearby. And they’re high-quality schools, too, all part of the well-respected Falcon School District 49.

Meridian Ranch Elementary serves Pre-K through 5th-grade students. Sixth- through 8th- graders attend Falcon Middle School, and Falcon High School welcomes 9th- through 12th-graders to an eco-friendly, technologically advanced facility.

There are also a number of charter schools in the area. Pikes Peak School of Expeditionary Learning (PPSEL) is a preschool through 8th grade charter school located north of Meridian Ranch. Liberty Tree Academy (LTA) is a kindergarten through 12th grade charter school located south of Meridian Ranch.
