Our experience with this school has honestly been five-star from the start. The staff, students, and families all very much informed when it comes to the school’s CULTURE traits. You see it reinforced in newsletters, on social media, and in everyday conversations, which really helps connect what’s happening at school with what’s happening at home. The framework is proudly displayed in every hallway and classroom, so the values are always front and center.Programs like Eagle’s Nests and our multiple service learning projects are such a highlight. They encourage cross-grade connections, build strong peer relationships, and give students opportunities to lead and support one another. It truly feels like a community, not just a school.Kindness, integrity, responsibility, and empathy aren’t just words on a poster — they’re lived out daily. Teachers model these traits in such a genuine way, creating an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and confident making good choices.This school isn’t just focused on academics; it’s focused on raising good humans. Our children are growing not only as students, but as thoughtful, respectful, and compassionate individuals. We couldn’t be happier to be part of this community.

My child attended Smith. The teachers and faculty are phenomenal. The teachers and principal do an excellent job with communicating to parents what’s going on in school and school events. My child enjoyed three years at Smith and subsequently excelled with good grades in all classes. Thank you to the teachers and staff at Smith, you are the greatest!

We've been a part of the Troy Athens High School community since 2017.   Each of our daughters' experiences have been positively impacted by the staff who are well-trained, care about their students, and go above and beyond to support and encourage the students.   Administration and staff have created a positive environment that helps to challenge students to do their best in both academic and social situations.  As parents, we have worked hard to do our part, in partnership with the Athens staff.   There are many ways to get involved at Athens and be a part of this community.   We are very lucky to have had our children attend Troy Athens!  We have one more child to graduate from Athens and we will forever be grateful to the Athens staff and community. 

This was by far the biggest disappointment of my child’s educational career thus far. He attended in 2021-2022 for 1 year & it was a nightmare. From having no access inside the school & never seeing his classroom, there was zero parent/family engagement & his teacher was the very WORST. This is that 1 teacher our whole family will never forget! She was old, ready to retire, lacked energy & a genuine “boy hater”. I tried to contact the Director Erin many times throughout that year via phone, voicemail & email and she never responded. This was not worth the $900 a month for preschool & after this experience my son developed horrible separation anxiety & did not develop a curiosity or love of school. So sad, I wish I went into the school & demanded a class/teacher change but I was too afraid to cause problems so early in his schooling. I will never make that mistake again :( I hope Erin Keyser improved her communication skills with parents but this should be the top priority of a preschool director aside from the children. Be very careful to ask all the questions you have and stay on top of everything at this preschool. It was a horrible year for my son & so sad to think back on now that he is
