GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I don't find the "teacher ratio of 17 to 1. According to state test scores, 62% of students are at least proficient in math and 50% in reading" enough to provide #1 in Alamance county for a public school. That's pretty sad. And it's sad the school doesn't follow its own years mottos if kindness. It's more about armed security walking around and control. And unless you're best friends with staff or are particularly a depth at navigating politics of school, then your child receives the awards. Every other student gets the shaft.

My kids went to SME and I was not too happy with the experience so we left. I really felt as if they had no idea who my kids were the entire time they were there. The environment is very depressing. It seems as if they cater to the less than adverage student...one day I was there and the principal y...
