Pre-K Science teacher Ms. Swapna Patil…read more Ms. Swapna, science teacher for Pre-K, has a gift for turning abstract concepts into hands-on wonder. Teaching science to pre-K students requires a special kind of magic, and she has it. My child comes home every week buzzing with excitement about gravity, life cycles, the solar system, transportation, water life cycle, bursting to explain how the world works. My child is completely hooked on science thanks to their amazing experiments and enthusiastic teaching style. She makes every lesson an adventure, and the growth we've seen in our child's critical thinking skills is incredible. I am constantly amazed by the sophisticated concepts my child brings home, all learned through play and hands-on activities. Ms. Swapna haven't just taught our child science; she has fostered a deep, lifelong curiosity about the universe. We are so grateful!"

My kids have been at Merryhill Elementary for 5 years, and it has been great. We've watched our…read morekids grow up in this school. The teachers and staff have been great, and everyone is very approachable and happy to help. I believe attitude comes from the top, and Mrs. Quinn, the principal, has been so awesome and knows all the kids names, and not just the trouble makers.

My son stayed at Merryhill for a few years. He stayed that long for his friends. However, for me, I…read morepersonally was not a big fan of the teachers. This school mainly runs on favoritism. The teacher very clearly favors one student over another. On the flip side, if the teacher does not like a student, the teacher also will not hesitate to made that very clear to everybody including the kids, in many areas, without considering how terrible for the poor kids to bear. For example, the class you will be assigned to at the beginning of each academic year, is determined how much you are favored. Good students are often assigned to good class, bad students are assigned to bad class. We believe our son is not Ms Quinn's favorite, or Ms Quinn has certain bias against us, so we quickly ran away. I do not recommend Merryhill to anybody!

I don't even want to get into detail but overall it's not bad. Honorable mentions if you're going into 3rd grade hope you have Ms Hang for going to 6th grade hope you have Mr Nguyen (not biased).

If you love your kids, think twice before sending them to John Sinnott. I know the reviews look…read moregreat online, but our experience was really disappointing. The staff didn't seem to care, and the teachers were far from warm or welcoming. My child came home tired and in tears every single day during the first two weeks of TK. It was honestly heartbreaking. All the school seemed to care about was attendance--not how the kids were actually doing. We expected a supportive, caring environment, but it felt cold and stressful instead.

Spangler was also the person who helped bring modern sewers and clean water to Milpitas in the 1940s. Serving mainly the children in Starlite Manor and Milpitas Manor developments, it sits on a ten acre site near Starlite Park, the first neighborhood park in Milpitas. It is a K-6 school. All the kids in our family went here. Recently a lot has changed here with photo-voltaic panels over the parking area and lunch area. More portable classrooms are on the campus to house the over 600 students. The academic program is average for Milpitas. Their API scores are improving each year. Alas, there is little money to support music, drama, art, etc. This was the last of the district's elementary schools to approve wearing uniforms, so the nearby community probably has more independent thinkers than other schools may have. Spangler feeds to Thomas Russell Middle School.

That was back when there were 1 teacher and 1 assistant for 20-30 students. The school was well kept and clean. This school really embraces its multi-ethnic student body.

I went to this school, and they openly have favourites towards a specific student, thinking they are "nice and sweet" but in reality never seen the bad side of them. The principal likes to choose sides and is unfair to all students. The staff here only care about themselves and no one else. They ignore any flaws you say about their "safe community" not even half the students here are somewhat safe. This school has become so ghetto! They enrol / hire anyone nowadays.
