We've had nothing but good experiences at SMS. Unsure why the score is so low because the teachers are excellent and the curriculum is what they are teaching in other middle schools.

The teachers, except the new ones, are seasoned professionals and care about the whole child. You will not find better teachers in the private schools. Mrs. Soviero and Mrs. Aboujja in 5th grade are Master Teachers and the best of the best. Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Pawlek in 1st grade are really great teachers. Mrs. Robinson even visited my daughter in the hospital and brought cards from her fellow students and read a book to her. I challenge you to find ANY teacher today who would do that!! However, the administration is weak and needs an overhaul. No backwards planning, no"big ideas," no scaffolding, no data walls, no data meetings. Transformative Leadership, Collaborative Committees, anything for 21st century learners other than lipservice to STEM is non existent. EI goals, social emotional learning NOT on the radar. (Can you tell we moved from the progressive West Coast?) School Admin does not meet the needs of the diverse.community it serves, which is a shame. So much potential with GREAT teachers. This school deserves GREAT leadership!

Outstanding Academic program with caring teachers. A variety of electives and AP courses available to students, great sports and clubs for students to participate in. One of our kids is on their way to an Ivy League acceptance with the help of wonderful teachers. The only sad issue which needs to be addressed more closely is the bullying. It happens often and many times the target the of bullying has to pay the same consequence of the offender.
