We already…read morehave registered for private and decided to register for public school as well, as an option. Although we registered late, the lady that I spoke on the phone (forgive me, I forgot her name) was very nice and accommodating. We got there and received our registration packet. She answered all our concerns/questions. I put four stars only because this was our first time to go over there and start the registration process.

    Roy Herburger was the publisher of the Elk Grove Citizen, the newspaper that serves the city of Elk…read moreGrove and the south Sacramento area. He was also the owner of Herburger Publications, a newspaper printing plant. His support for education and Elk Grove schools resulted in a partnership with the school district and many statewide awards for his education reporting beginning in 1959. Roy Herburger was born in Cambridge, Missouri but was raised in Stratton, Colorado where his parents were involved with printing and publishing. He graduated from Stratton High School in 1948 and the University of Missouri, School of Journalism, in 1953. He then attended the United States Air Force where he graduated from Officer's Training in 1955. He served in the military until 1957 as a first lieutenant navigator, instructor. When Mr. Herburger took over the Elk Grove Citizen in 1959, he determined that schools and education should be the central theme of his newspapers. In addition to the Citizen, Galt Herald was also under his ownership, so he became a supporter of schools throughout south Sacramento County. Consistently through the years, Mr. Herburger made it very clear that education was the reason he was able to accomplish what he had set forth to do. In his words, he felt that "education held the key to life's success." Mr. Herburger has been a supporter of colleges and universities and he worked with a statewide committee to keep journalism as a major in schools. He assisted high schools with the production of their newspapers and taught students how to finance their publications through advertising. A long time community advocate, Mr. Herburger contributed to the betterment of the entire Sacramento area in his efforts. He was one of the persons responsible for the placement of Cosumnes River College in the south area and served on the CRC Foundation Board for 39 years. He is a supporter of the Los Rios colleges and Delta College as well. Mr. Herburger was active in statewide publishing groups, and since 1981, he served on the California Newspapers Publishers Literacy Committee

    The budget and poorness really shows at this school. Half the teachers don't care and the buildings…read moreare incredibly old. Compared to other elementary schools, they have electricity run billboards and mckee brushes it off. New principal and not even noticeable. Second of all the food is disgusting!!!!! Not healthy and they serve chunky milk, expired food and cold food. Third of all, staff doesn't care about special needs kids or quiet kids. The younger special needs groups would get treated bad. Favoritism was obviously shown with supervisors on the playground, "yard duities" but they really only care for a group of girls. My math teacher in the later years treated me horribly and always accused me of cheating just because I was smart. I had good memories with my friends since early childhood but didn't enjoy the school. Some sweet teachers but the teachers were rude and mean, I absolutely hated 4th grade. The playground is also bleached from the sun and never has been repainted. This is a small school if you live in the small town part of elk grove. Dont recommend that much it's just a simple school that ruined my mental health.

    Merryhill Elementary on Calvine has been an incredible experience for our family. From the very…read morefirst day, we could see how much the teachers and staff genuinely care about each child's growth.. not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. My child has thrived here. The progress we've seen is remarkable: confidence, curiosity, and a true love for learning have all blossomed. The teachers don't just "teach to the test"; they create an environment where children are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and celebrate their unique strengths. What makes Merryhill stand out is the balance they strike between structure and creativity. The curriculum is challenging yet engaging, and the small class sizes allow for personalized attention. We've also noticed how well-rounded the program is character development, leadership, and kindness are emphasized just as much as academics. They put a lot of work in to afterschool programs and making it fun for children as well. The growth my child has shown since starting at Merryhill has been beyond our expectations. We are so grateful for the supportive community here and truly believe this school is giving our child the best possible foundation for the future.

Shout out to Miss Ez & Miss Destiny for all their hard work , it's obvious that my son is having fun here because he always asks to go to school even on the weekends!

Shout out to Miss Alyssa the chef for preparing good food for my son and is also aware of his food allergies and makes accommodation . Also shout out to Miss Yeabu for being caring and kind towards my son . And of course shout out to the Admin Miss Karina & Miss Valencia for all their warm greetings every time we walk in, it makes all the difference & it makes me feel at ease trusting my kids at this school.

    My son has been going here since he was 6-7. At first this school was amazing! He had all kinds of…read morefriends and was also eager to go to school in the morning. He wasn't hesitant at all. In 4th grade, there was this other student that had said multiple mean things to him and had made him cry. He was always the smart kid and had no problem with going to school. Because of this boy, he started to refuse to go to school in the end of the school year all the way through 5th and half of 6th grade but he eventually got put in homeschool. Remember, this was all because of one kid that did not know how to communicate with others and had no respect. I understand that it was a kid, but this doesn't mean he can be rude to others and have no effect on himself. He should know to be kind to others. Anyways, now lets talk about the other kids here, I believe there are 750 kids that attend this school currently and most of them are just kids that think they are older than everybody else and can do whatever they want to do. I absolutely hate that, what are these parents teaching these kids?? I would like to know because in 5th grade, somebody spilt yogurt on my son and it was on purpose. Did the staff do anything? NOT AT ALL. They did absolutely NOTHING. What is wrong with these people? The staff suck, the principals fine, the students have no respect whatsoever and that rude office lady just pisses me off! As a matter of fact.. how does she still work there? She is HORRIBLE! The teachers are better, though miss villunaeva is also HORRIBLE! She is so rude and I feel so bad for the people that have her as their teacher. Im not sure if she still works there but this school could definently be better.

    I am sharing this to make other parents aware of serious concerns regarding Ms. Choi's conduct in…read morethe classroom. Although she may present herself as friendly, my child experienced repeated condescending, inappropriate, and troubling behavior. My child was bullied by other students on multiple occasions, and I personally witnessed some of these incidents. Instead of intervening appropriately, Ms. Choi dismissed my child's reports, denied that incidents occurred, and labeled her a liar.She made inappropriate comments about my child's appearance, including remarks about her skin color, and spoke negatively about me as a parent directly to my child. My child also reported being physically touched in a way that made her uncomfortable. In addition, she described instances where Ms. Choi would whisper comments in her ear so that others could not hear, which caused her to feel isolated and distressed.When I brought these concerns to school administration, I did not see meaningful action taken. After contacting the district multiple times over several months, I was finally able to have my child transferred due to limited availability.I encourage parents to remain vigilant, listen carefully to their children, document concerns, and advocate firmly when necessary. Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and protected in their classroom.
