As a senior in this school I have never felt welcomed by other students due to me being special needs the bullying on this school is a on going problem there is fights like no other kids vape constantly not only that they have are bathroom locked up they only have three out the 5 or 6 bathrooms opened the teachers here have been really supportive it doesn’t really help that i almost got jump my freshman thankfully someone actually did something about it and didn't leave it there was one day where i was walking with my friend that had a hat and a another student snatched it and invaded he's personal space and my friend almost got jumped over a vape she didn't even take this school is some what very unsafe the admin and the staff do a excellent job at helping you through but yeah someone of my teachers don’t advocate my 504 plan that well and I’m excited to leave

Several teachers displayed unprofessional behavior and appeared to show favoritism toward certain students, while being dismissive and disrespectful toward others. Instead of focusing on teaching and guidance, some staff members engaged in arguments with students, which created a hostile and unproductive learning environment.Bullying among students was a consistent issue, and it did not appear to be adequately addressed. This caused ongoing stress and required my child to constantly defend herself, which interfered with her ability to focus on learning.Additionally, the food options were extremely limited, with students being served the same meals repeatedly, which is concerning for growing children who need variety and nutrition.Overall, I would not recommend this school. If you care about your child’s education, emotional safety, and overall school experience, I strongly suggest exploring other options.

As a substitute teacher, I had a very difficult experience with one of the classes at Smith Intermediate. The group I worked with showed a high level of disrespect — students would openly deny things I had just witnessed, challenge corrections, and even try to turn it around to make the adult look wrong. When I attempted to redirect behavior, several students reacted with eye-rolling, loud sighs, talking over me, and comments under their breath. A few even encouraged each other to undermine what I said, which made it nearly impossible to maintain order.What was especially discouraging was that when I sought support, I was told that if students feel ‘disrespected,’ they won’t back down. I was not being disrespectful — I was enforcing expectations — yet I faced major disrespect and saw no meaningful repercussions for the students.The lack of accountability was frustrating, and it felt like students were more interested in testing limits than learning. Many students would benefit from clearer boundaries, consistent consequences, and greater parent/guardian involvement. I’ve substituted in other schools where kids can be energetic but still respectful — this was different. I believe stronger support systems, consistent discipline from administration, and behavioral interventions could make a big difference here.
