Merquin Elementary

Merquin Elementary serves the small farming community of Stevinson, a quiet rural town in Merced County's agricultural heartland where families tend to have deep roots and a tight-knit connection to the land. The school faces some real academic challenges, particularly in math and English, and may be a better fit for families who are prepared to supplement learning at home or stay closely involved in their child's education. For those already embedded in the Stevinson community, the small-town setting means kids grow up knowing their neighbors, and the school reflects that same close, personal feel.
