part 1/2I love this school to death, and I'm upset I'm only here for 2 years.. Where to start... THE LUNCH IS AMAZING! I know for most students, lunch is their "favorite subject" so they will be impressed! So many more choices, and delicious food! The teachers are so supportive and caring. If you treat them with respect, then they will always be there for you! They know what they are doing and want the best for us and just want to share their passion. Why else would they become a teacher? There are counselors in the office that are always willing to talk to you! Middle school is hard for everyone, as it's an awkward stage of life, but that shouldn't be blamed on the school! Bullying does happen, of course, but if you bring it up to the right person, they will do what they can to help. It is a HUGE school, so they can't fix everything, but they try hard! This school does expect more, so of course it will be harder academically! They challenge you, and prepare you with harder work and responsibility! They will throw away a no name paper, because 1: they have too many students to worry about that one! and 2: be responsible! if you want the grade, show it! They build character if you actually try to learn what they are teaching you. Not just academics, but life skills!

The staff at this school go above an beyond for students each day. As a grandparent of children who have attended for several years and someone who spends a lot of time at the school, I can say it makes me smile to watch the staff and children interact. They are focused on teaching students how to read, write and do math. My grandchild also enjoys science and history, which are very much part of the learning. Additionally, the students are learning to make smart and safe choices and never give up. They welcome families as part of the overall Smoketree team vibe. I especially like that they are focusing on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Attempting to transition my daughter to high school from junior high, after multiple attempt to call & email per school requests on registration paperwork sent home..........no response. I called and finally got through to the book store only to be greeted by the rudest most unprofessional woman I have ever spoken to. What a great representative for welcoming new parents and students. We'll be enrolling elsewhere my daughter deserves a better education and kinder more professional staff.
