I like MPE. The Drop off and pick-up has been remedied and isn't much of a problem, plenty of parking. Great teachers and problem solvers. I live in North Shore at Lake Hart. We are very community oriented and safety of our families is a top priority.

My children attend this school. Over the years they have had a few good teachers, but have had their share of really bad ones. The only good thing about this school are the extra activities/clubs for the kids to join. The principal is careless and just down right mean to the kids, the car line takes longer than any other car line in orange county, and has been that way since the school opened with no improvement. The school nurse is not an actual nurse that is certified to take care of any of the kids. There is not enough parking for you to attend any of the programs or events. Your car will get towed by the North Shore community if you park anywhere surrounding the school property. If you are looking to move to this area, save your kids and move in the district of any of the surrounding schools. They are all much better than this school!
