My son just started here and I love it. I was on the fence on whether to have my son attend private or public school at the beginning of the school year. I am glad we decide to put him at SME. His teacher has been wonderful and the principal is super dedicated and is always available. I joined the PTA and they are a wonderful group of committed women. Parents are involved in the planned activities and offer a helping hand when needed. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
