My 3 kids go to this school. They love it and we couldn't have been luckier. The office staff, teachers, and parents are always working hard to give the best to all students. There are afterschool enrichment classes, and they are awesome. Tutoring, guitar, cooking, arts&crafts, CST prep, Yearbook, Spanish, Volleyball, and Guest Speakers classes are offered just to name a few. Academically, Mayberry is about to hit the 800 benchmark. The life learning, and mix culture experience is not something my kids would otherwise learn in the books. AWESOME!

Great school!!! All my children attend this elementary school and I have no complaints. The staff and teachers are awesome! The school is very clean. Everyone is supportive and the community is great! My children's grades have gotten better each year! This school is very dedicated in raising money to help the school with getting the students the things they need in order to maintain a better education. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants their children to be taught by the best and that want to feel like home.

Mayberry Street Elementary School is a diamond in a field of coals. Never knew they have a Pre-School/Pre-Kindergarten program and they have been here in the 90026 area for the longest time. We just participated in a parent/child orientation with the teachers and I feel relieved and confident, we made the right choice in landing in this school. We love our daughter s teachers and how organized and structured the curriculum and staff. The school is super clean and is perfect. I love that this program is public and not tied to a state program that hinders parents based on income. Not a whole lot of people know about their Pre-school program and currently still have lots of room for more students. Actually if you do an internet search, Mayberry does not pop up for pre-schools. I just happen to find out they have a program by calling the principal and asking if she knew any other programs nearby the area, and thank God they just happen to have one. So for those who are panicking and still looking for a perfect public pre-school program, I strongly recommend and want to make sure everybody knows about Mayberry Street Elementary School s Pre-School/Pre-Kindergarten!

We are about to begin a new school year and we are so happy to be back at Mayberry. I had taken my child out of Mayberry and enrolled her at Gabriella Charter because I thought she would get a more enriching education due to their performing arts program. Big mistake. My child's test scores fell. The teachers were nowhere nearly as effective as the Mayberry teachers. The Mayberry teachers genuinely care about the students and work very hard to help them achieve. They have a positive attitude and you always get the feeling you are walking into a welcoming, nurturing environment. For being a performance charter, Gabriella was also weak. Mayberry has an excellent afterschool dance class run by Mrs. Maldonado, a great drama club run by Mr. Avina, and other awesome clubs that leave Gabriella in the dust. So glad to be back!

Mayberry is a family school; the teaching staff is superior, students are safe, office staff friendly and welcoming, administration always put the students first (the principal just retired and we don't yet know the new leadership), school is emmaculate, parents have become quite involved during the past few years and there are after school interest classes as well as LA's best and Youth Services available. It is a hidden jewel in the area!!

Mayberry is a great school to send your kids to. Teachers are caring and go the extra mile for their students. The staff is amazing and is like one big family. Parents are involved and ready to take on any challenge

Mayberry is an excellent school, with great teachers, office staff, and assistants. Our former principal is dearly missed. The new principal is doing a great job. Mayberry needs to enroll more students or they will lose a great six grade teacher. Please pass the word to other parents and enroll their childern at this school.

we moved to echo park last year from el monte. i loved el monte school district for my daughter. i never thought there would be a great school like the one my daughter was at before, but from the first day my daughter started i knew it was a great school. my daughter cried on her first day and the office personnel were sweet and comforting and reassuring. the school environment is caring,clean, and the staff is willing to do whatever it takes for my daughter to succeed. my daughter had a problem with math,but they worked with us and gave me some tips how to get better at it. i really love this school for my daughter. this year i will be enrolling my son in pre-school. i know he'll be in good hands!

With 6th grade now added and a motivated, eager neighborhood community looking to contribute their time and energy to Mayberry, we feel lucky to have this public school within walking distance of our house.

We have been fortunate to have our child at this wonderful school. The Principal, Paula Bennett and the great teachers as well as the whole school staff really care about the students. There is an excellent program for students who have special needs and they are always a part of everything! We couldn't be happier with Mayberry!!
