This amazing fact was due to the intervention of the teachers in first and second grade recognizing that my child needed additional help and giving it to her. I am so very impressed with this school. We are moving to GA and I cringe at the fact that the new schools will not compare to the education that my children have received here in NC! Thank you staff at MCE! Read less

While I commend the principal for his leadership and the staff/teachers for their support and interest of our children at MCE, I do not think the curriculum is up to par. The children are not academically challenged in the classroom and do not get enough homework. We moved here from another state and
... Read more our children were far more advanced than the curriculum offered at MCE. In essence, my children wasted a school year because all they did at MCE was review what they had already learned in another school in another state. This could have been prevented if the staff at MCE would have evaluated/assessed my children prior to placement. Read less
