Maidu Elementary School

When we moved to the area and asked about the schools, we were told about the Eureka school district. When we researched the schools within the district it seemed certain schools were rated higher in regards to testing scores. In delving deeper it seemed there were inherent drawbacks to this- socially and emotionally. We chose Maidu for its diverse and caring learning environment with a global perspective that other schools didn't possess. In regards to testing, my child ended up scoring in the highest percentile in the CAASP testing 3rd grade and he has thrived socially and emotionally. This is all thanks to the caring teachers and specialized learning.

Maidu has been an incrediable experience for my children so far. The kindness of staff and academic excellence has made Maidu a fantastic education environment.

Administration could be better at handling interactions regarding school policies.

4/10. Some teachers are amazing but the principal is a complete joke. Rude, disrespects parents
