My daughter attended this school for 2 years. I loved the teachers. They were very dedicated to my child's education and we will miss them dearly.

MWE is a fabulous school. Excellent teachers, a commitment to kids, family and community involvement. The only downfall right now (2006) is the district decision to have the Challenge program at both district schools, which will mean MWE possibly losing fine teachers, or kids suffering from lack of leadership. This is the fault of the WASL, folks. Monte Cristo elementary isn't making the grade--so its' 'native' kids are being tossed back to their home school (that they may never have attended) in order to pull the weight of the rest of the school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
