Kathy: If you are lucky, your child will have one of the caring, dedicated teachers. Some of the teachers here are outstanding! The same cannot be said for others. Overall, a good school.

Marguerita Elementary School
Christene Guzman: We have 2 children attending Marguerita Elementary and we have been nothing but pleased with every aspect that this school is providing. The teachers are wonderful as well as the front office and the custodians that clean up after our children. This has truly been a wonderful experience for our children the transfer from another elementary school in alhambra to Marguerita was a smooth transition. We were somewhat skeptical but everyone there at Marguerita just made it that much easier for our children. This will be our childrens third year here and we could not have asked for any place better. Thank You, Thank You and Thank You once more.
