History

The Ella School District was founded in 1874 and named by the then county Superintendent of Schools, Thomas H. Steel. He named it after a teacher, and his soon to be wife, Ella Granger. The land where the school resides was donated by a Yuba County Pioneer, Cline Bull. In 1879 there were 31 children who lived in the district. The Ella Elementary School building was dedicated in April of 1939 by Marysville Parlor No 162, Native Daughters of the Golden West. Currently, Ella is a part of the Marysville Joint Unified School District and services around 580 students in grades TK-6th. It also houses a preschool classroom as well as three Yuba County Office of Education classrooms.
