I think that the school is only getting better each year. At first I was taken back by the mix of hispanic attendance, but now I find that to be an asset.

There is not much parent involvement anymore. The same people volunteer and it is somewhat of a highschool clique. The neighborhood around the school is going downhill. I would think twice before moving to this school. We are going to move as soon as we can. What is important is that the parents

My experience at Schmalz, after moving from another district, was the best. It is an organized school, they take care of children and make them feel welcome and part of the school as if they started ever since the school first opened. My older is now in middle school, but my second one is in first

Parents are really welcome, in fact they encourage parents to volunteer and be part of the school/activities. The actual cultural mix in Schmalz (pretty much 45%whites - 45% Hispanics - 10%African-Americans), gives a great opportunity to learn and respect culture, race and ethnicity. The Principal is very supportive to parents and teachers as well. As a former-present-future parent, Schmalz is the best. Read less

This has been a good school expect for the fact that they don't allow many parents to volunteer in areas that would take some of the pressure off teachers so they can teach. This makes no sense to me.
