School Overview

Charles Wright Elementary sits in Merced, a Central Valley city that's growing fast thanks in part to the nearby UC Merced campus, but still carries that tight-knit, agricultural community feel. The school serves a diverse student body and, while its academic scores fall below the state midpoint, families in the area who value a neighborhood school with deep community roots may find it a comfortable fit. For those prioritizing academics, it's worth exploring additional enrichment options outside of school to complement what's offered here.
