My daughter's first year at MVE was 3rd grade. Front office staff is very friendly, helpful, and organized. 3rd grade is a tough year and the teachers worked hard to help the students meet TAKS test standards. The school even offered after-school help & invested in internet software for kids to practice at home.

My oldest daughter completed MV Elem.6 years ago and my youngest is entering 5th grade this year. Overall, I feel that my kids have gotten a great education at this school. The small community atmosphere is why we moved here. The staff is great!
