Marengo Elementary School

Best for your kid. Nuf said. Teachers care. Kids get attention. You will be surprised by the progress your kid will make. Public school that would beat most private ones. Very-very recommended.

Marengo has a beautiful campus, caring parents that help in most all classrooms each day and a caring, sensitive and devoted staff and teachers that help each child to fulfill their educational dreams.

The parents at the school are very involved. The Current principal was a teacher for years and is doing a great job because she really knows kids, and her experience as a educator is helping her work with the teaching staff equally well. The fiscal cuts from the past few years have been elegantly dealt with and both the administration and the PTA have filled in many blanks left by the cuts. The children genuinely like going to school and have fun.

The Principal has done an outstanding job with the PTA and SPEF and with the teachers and all other collaborators. We are really happy that our son can have the opportunity to learn in this school. We couldn't have done a better choice.

We transferred our kindergartener mid year from a private school to Marengo and could not be happier. We selected the private school because our son is highly gifted and somewhat sensitive, and we believed that a smaller school would be more socially manageable and able to adapt curriculum more easily than a larger, public school. We could not have been more wrong. Within the first week, the K teachers were contacting me with comments about his abilities and suggestions on how to adapt the homework to his level. This never happened even once after over 6 months at the private school. The students in the class are so nice, there are so many extra events and activities that make the school fun. Our son routinely asks me why I didn't change his school earlier, like 'on day 2'!. The district office & school however, seem to lack clarity on enrollment procedures.

This year Marengo got a new Principal that seems to be much better than the last, so that is encouraging! My son is in the 1st grade and has an outstanding teacher which makes all the difference in the world. He now loves school which is so nice to see.
