Smith Farm Elementary School

Like many schools in underserved and underrepresented communities, federal and state resources are limited in availability for helping students reach their full potential. Teachers care deeply about the students and the students form irreplaceable bonds with each other that will carry them throughout their lives. More resources need to be directed to the school to help with tutoring, ESL and parent-involved activities the students and families can enjoy that help with reading and math.

I 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.

My child is in first grade and is on his fourth teacher. He may have his fifth teacher before the end of the year. The teacher turnover is great. Not impressed.

I'm gonna write a serious review this timeThis school from what I have heard has a poor history when it comes to accommodating students with special needs

Our 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!
