Read what parents are saying about Smith Farm Elementary SchoolSo I went there from kindergarten - 3rd grade, and let me tell you about ALL of the bad things that happened to me. So I was bullied and NO ONE EVEN CARED I would tell the teacher but the teacher would do NOTHING like absolutely nothing. There was a lot of swearing and bullying and I think the principal that I had (I don't know if the principal that I had is still there) was absolutely bad and would do nothing. My grandma was on the PTA and the PTA wasn't that bad, but still a little bad. Only like a few people cared about me in that school but those people were friends and one staff member I knew but not the principal, I knew the principal but did nothing about my bullying. The bully swore at me one time. Please DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE or they would have a bad time with the bullying and learning swear words at a young age. just to let you know this is an elementary school and this should not be happening in an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!!!
Posted by a community member on 12/1/2022Smith farm is a nice school and everything! The teachers have been doing amazing but the kids. The kids do a lot of swearing, Dating, And talk about sexual things in school. I dont know who are raising these kids but i dont think all these things are appropriate for school especially for an ELEMENTARY school. Its highly inappropriate and i think the teachers need to pay more attention to the students during recess when they are pretty much away from the teacher. Other then that there is a new principal and that has made a huge difference for the school.
Posted by a parent on 8/17/2021There is so many bad things I could say about this school, I personally have had a really bad experience, Let's start off with the students, in my opinion, 5th grade is the WORST, if students get mad, they just storm out of the classroom. Next, teachers, the teachers are amazing, and students (5th grade) say that their teachers are mean but heres the thing, THE STUDENTS THINK THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT and teachers have to be mean to control them. Next, the principal, I don't even know how to say this, WE NEED A NEW PRINCIPAL, because of the current principal, the students act the way they do, the principal hugs the students who misbehave and technically ignores the good kids, I find that unfair because the good students put effort into school and they technically get thrown to the curb. We need a new principal that can control these misbehaving students. The current principal acts the way her mood is telling her to. Office staff also needs to be a bit friendlier with us parents. If a new principal eventually comes, I hope this school will be better and that the younger students don't have to deal with this in the future.
Posted by a parent on 5/4/2019Overall, before this new principle, the school seemed to have a very positive vibe. It now seems there are a lot of unhappy teachers and leadership there. If the leaders and teachers are not happy, this effects our children. When our children sense this, and they do, it certainly does push them in the direction to do their best. Parents have a role as well. Discipline and respect begins at home. Overall, this school has great potential, but if administration doesn't clear up some of the issues in the leadership, this school will further decline and our children will suffer.
Posted by a parent on 7/19/2018My child has had great teachers every year! The years up until this school year have been great! Unfortunately, the change in principals has greatly changed our perspective of this school. There have been several students that pulled out from this school during this year & know of several students that will not be returning for next year. This school never had a strong PTA, parent involvement, but this year has dramatically fell off to close to nothing. Hope things can be turned around for Smith Farm because it could be a great school like it was in the beginning!

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI absolutely do not recommend this school. Staff was very rude specially a Spanish woman with whom I talked to. That looked like a jungle, kids everywhere, learning on the corridors, dancing in the classes, etc. The speech therapist they have there also very rude. If you want your kid to be constantly harassed this is the place. Kids crying going to class, there are no manners at this school. Bullies have a free pass.Parent Review1y ago - Union Cross Elementary

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe got to see a patriotic presentation done by this school at the NC State men's basketball game half-time show on 11/19/22. I have to say that it was an extremely hopeful and inspiring performance by such a large number of diverse elementary school children taking part in "God Bless the USA" during such a divisive time for our country. Way to go Caleb's Creek Elementary for encouraging such basic unification for what should truly matter and such a great performance! Go Pack!Parent Review1y ago - Triad Baptist Christian Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur twin children are currently enrolled in the fifth grade at TBCA. They have been attending this school since kindergarten and have been thriving under the guidance of the excellent teaching and administrative staff. The school has been a true blessing to our family.Our ten-year-old son was diagnosed with PANDAS at the end of fourth grade, which made it challenging for him to attend school and actively participate. However, we were fortunate enough to have an incredibly supportive school administration and teachers who went above and beyond our expectations to help him finish fourth grade. We are now in fifth grade, and our son is still working through PANDAS, which is not a simple cure. Nevertheless, the school has been very accommodating, and my wife and I trade off working from the school daily to ensure we are present should there be any episodes.The teachers have been absolutely fantastic and supportive in assisting our son as needed throughout the day. Needless to say, we would be in a terrible position without TBCA and all of the incredible people on staff who have supported our situation. I always go out of my way to let other parents know about TBCA. It is truly one of the best-kept secrets in K-12 education. My wife and I have been so impressed by TBCA that we both decided to volunteer to lead after-school art and STEM clubs to give back some of what has already been given to our family.We are grateful for their support!Parent Review7mo ago
