I WENT THERE. IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. THEY DON'T REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. I REALLY THINK ABOUT GOING TO LAMERCED ALL THE TIME AND HATE THE THOUGHT OF IT! I HAVE TO GO TO THERAPY BECAUSE OF THIS SCHOOL.

This school has a great education and future for kids, but the bullying and fighting is a little rough. This is what i know about La Merced Elementary in Belen.
