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.

Our policies at my school make perfect sense and are easy to follow. bullying is not tolerated at all.Our dress code is reasonable and whether people choose to obey them is their choice but if they do not dress appropriately then they get dress coded in shorts and a shirt. our counselors are very helpful and do everything they can to keep our students on track to being successful.

Great school because the teachers give so much to the kids. Most kids are Spanish speaking and many teachers are too. The entire staff works very hard to help each student, my kids love their teacher!

I'm so glad my son attends SME. The teachers and the principal are excellent, lots of them bilingual. They are dedicated and devoted. They always make you feel welcome. The parents are involve in their kids education and the kids love their school.
