School Overview

Don Stowell Elementary sits in Merced, a Central Valley city with a growing UC campus and a tight-knit agricultural community at its core. The school serves families in one of the area's more modest neighborhoods, and while test scores reflect some of the broader challenges facing the district, there's a real community presence here that goes beyond the numbers. Families who are actively involved and looking to supplement their child's education at home may find Stowell a welcoming place to start.
