The staff truly care about each student and go above and beyond to build relationships, creating a supportive environment where kids feel valued and encouraged. Academically, the school maintains strong performance and focuses on meaningful learning that prepares students for success in high school and beyond.While the physical building is slightly outdated, it is incredibly well-maintained and clean.

This school didn’t actually try for me. When I struggled they do to they way I think they pushed their ways of teaching on me more. They didn’t try anything different most of the classmates I went with could agree with me. There were a few rude teachers, and if I ever tried to explain myself they wouldn’t listen to my reason. There is also a huge drug problem across the whole town even in the learning environments.

The teachers at Eagle Heights are truly outstanding; they go above and beyond to build personal relationships with their students, ensuring that academic growth goes hand-in-hand with emotional support. It is so reassuring as a parent to see educators who are genuinely invested in our children’s success and character. We couldn't ask for a better foundation for our children.Being part of the Smithville community adds so much value to the school experience. There is a genuine, small-town heart here where neighbors truly look out for one another, and that support carries right into the hallways of Eagle Heights. It is a place where families, local businesses, and educators all rally together to ensure our kids have the best possible start. I truly cannot give a higher recommendation to any family looking for a school that balances excellence with heart.
