Merryhill Elementary School

Our son have been attending Merryhill since last year. Teachers are very caring and strict at the same time. Since they only have 15 kids in 1^st grade class, teachers are able to spend some one on one time with a child. We enjoy Merryhill and appreciate the PTO moms. They do a great job with mini events and fundraisers. Also, there are many fun/​educational after school activities. Very well rounded school.

Merryhill is an amazing school! I could not be happier about my son’s education. The staff and the principle make learning a priority while at the same time make learning meaningful and engaging. I would highly recommend this school from a parent and teacher perspective. The small class size makes a world of difference. The principle is fully involved and has a great pulse on the school. The staff is extremely willing to assist me at any time with any questions I have. Merryhill is the best decision I have ever made for my child!

My son has been with Merryhill Durango Elementary School for 6 years now and prior to that he was at Merryhill Durango Preschool from 6 weeks old on, and I can not say enough GREAT things for both of these wonderful Schools. The Teachers at the Elementary School are just absolutely amazing. Not only is my son academically ahead of other children his age, he also surpasses many children who are older than him. My friends always comment on how intelligent he is and I truly believe that a lot of it has to do with this school and the teaching and administrative staff there. We have always had such great teachers and many of which have been there for over 6 years. There are even teachers that have been with the school since its opening. That alone can give you an idea of how great this school is. The Principle not only communicates with me on a regular basis but she is truly proactive in the developement and enrichment of the students. She is by far one of the most proactive principles I have ever had the pleasure to deal with and the staff seems to love her. She is always open to speak with any parent, teacher or student that wants or needs to talk. The way that she communicates with the teachers, students and parents is such a nice thing to see! She and the entire administrative staff are such a great asset to this school. In the 6 years we have been with this school (K-​5) my only complaint would be that they do not continue through to 8^th grade.

This is truly a special school. The undivided attention my son receives is truly remarkable. The small class sizes and the tremendous staff (principal, teachers, administrative staff) are top notch. What really amazes me is that my child does NOT look forward to the weekend because there is no school, looking forward to Monday instead! That speaks volumes about the kind of school Merryhill is. Highly recommend.

My son has attended Merryhill elementary since kindergarten. He’s in 3^rd grade now. I couldn’t be happier with the school. Each year gets better & better. The class sizes are small so he gets the attention and guidance he needs. He’s academically challenged. The principal and teachers address any concern or questions immediately. The principal is involved in every aspect of the school. He loves going to school which means a lot me and says a lot about the school. I highly recommend this school!!!
