The school has some great teachers and staff members. Like most places, you do have a few bad apples. I believe they could do better with their food choices ,menu. And a more friendLY,caring ,sincere guidance counselor wouldn't hurt !

Merrimack is an excellent school. The staff makes you feel comfortable and wanted at this school. The teachers are very concerned about the children's education. I am a highly involved parent at Merrimack Elementary and I have been for four years.
