Merrick Moore Elementary School has prepared my child for Middle School. She attended this school for 6 years and only had one year that was not as successful as I had hoped. After talking to the principal my concerns were addressed. The following years were the best ever. In all the years my child spent at MME were very productive!! I will never forget the caring teachers at MME!!

We were only able to be at RN Harris for one year and then moved out of the area.I would say this is a very child centered school. My child responded very well to this environment.The staff were very responsive to parent communication at all levels. The school worked closely with local organizations to make sure kids went home with food during school breaks. This demonstrated to me that the school staff were aware of the needs of their students outside of school hours as well.We miss you guys!

Since getting new administration our school has taken an even greater turn for the better! Our principal is a leader who pushes our students and staff to succeed and do their best. Our teachers TRULY love our students and would do anything for them. Interventions are in place for students who are struggling, AIG is in place for students who are excelling, and there are plenty of extra curricular activities for students such as after school, tutoring, violin, soccer, cheerleading, and more! The school has ramped up its community and parent involvement through tons of school events like hispanic heritage night, black history night, kickball night, smores night, reading events, sneaker balls, plays, musical performances, etc. The progress at this school is really something you want to be a part of!
