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.
