Our Schools

The first public school in Merrick, founded in 1901, was a one-room building which housed 38 students and one teacher. The district now consists of three elementary schools with a total enrollment of approximately 1,500 students. Children receive their secondary education in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, which serves the communities of Merrick, North Merrick, Bellmore and North Bellmore. Two members of the Merrick Board of Education serve on the Central High School District Board.
