4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is good and all but being a student gives you a different perspective on the school. The clubs like BPA is great for you child and the electives there for choice is also great. Though if your planning to send you child there who is tall, you may want to get a doctors note as those desk/chair combo is very uncomfortable. Also the provide school lunch is not recommended as it’s horrible. The teachers do encourage students to do their best though which is great!Student Review4w ago - Smyrna High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m extremely disappointed with the leadership at this school. The principal has shown a lack of professionalism and does not appear to effectively manage staff or address ongoing concerns.There are repeated issues with certain teachers engaging in inappropriate interactions with students, including arguing rather than de-escalating situations. This creates an environment that feels tense and unproductive for children.Multiple concerns have been raised, yet there seems to be little to no meaningful action taken by administration. Communication is often unclear, and accountability appears to be lacking across the board.Overall, the school environment feels disorganized and poorly managed. Families deserve a safe, respectful, and well-run school, and unfortunately, this has not been our experience.Other Review4w ago - North Smyrna Elementary School
