(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Poor school! The staff, teachers, and administration are apathetic and uncaring. The secretary can be rude and condescending. The principal and the assistant are best suited for professions other than education. Minorities and children with special need are excluded and left behind as teachers and administrators are both untrained and unwilling to address specific needs. There are cliques within the school which hinder learning and make it hard for concerned parents. Above all, SCE is one of the lowest performing schools in the areas of math and reading. Think twice before sending your child to this school!

- Excellent school. The teachers and staff are very professional and seem to truly care about the students. I believe the curriculum could be a little more challenging but that's not the schools fault. Excellent school.
