At Marguerite Montgomery Elementary School (MME), the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) works so all families in our school community, regardless of income, education level and/or primary language, have full and equitable access to programs that enrich the school’s standard curriculum.  Our PTA relies completely upon donations, grants, and fundraising in order to bring culturally diverse, relevant, and engaging activities to each-and-every classroom, student, and family on our campus.

MME serves the highest percentage of underprivileged and underserved children in the Davis school district.  Approximately 55% of the students at MME are identified as socio-economically disadvantaged as defined by state and federal criteria, making us a Title I school in the state of California. This is the highest percentage among all DJUSD elementary schools. Poverty is an environmental stressor that research has shown can negatively impact academic achievement.
