Thurman G. Smith Elementary School

As new parents to the school we were blown away by the professionalism and warm and caring environment that has been created at Young. Combined with high academic standards Young is second to none. Well done!

My child has been told that it's rude to need to use the bathroom.... Not very kind staff usually.

I was excited about this school after reading reviews but was soon disappointed. The staff even at open house did not engage. Zero communication from any staff about drop off and pick-up until after the first 2 weeks resulting in absolute rudeness from staff in car line. This school has Pre-K and Elementary in the same building with 2 different principles. The 2 principals do not communicate with one another. On more than one occasion they could not locate my child. Worst experience. I am sure there are great teachers and staff who work hard at this school but unfortunately, I did not get to see any of the positives.

A huge disappointment. her classroom atmosphere and teacher have made my daughter who loves school and wants to be teacher not want to go at all due to bad teacher/student relations.....

I encourage Ms. Michelle Doshierto participate and learn more about diversity events throughout the year. Although there are only less than 4% Black/ African American children enrolled, showing interest and representing Black History Month as well other months like Asian American etc. would show that the school has a diverse/ inclusive environment. I immediately removed my child because this school lacked diversity/inclusive appreciation

My son is new to this school. He is in second grade this year. After his first week there I can already see a big change in his attitude towards reading and school work. I can't thank the school enough for helping my struggling child. We are so lucky to be able to send out son there.

The school is good so far, I will know more at the end of next year, I have another child enrolling in the school, however, it will only be kindergarten.
