Eric S. Smith Middle School

Best experience for our son. He loves coming to school. The teachers and staff are so welcoming. He is well supported by his peers even with him looking a little different there is a big awareness of stopping any bullying. The school is more diverse than the statistics say and that was very important to us.

This school is fantastic for so many reasons. It has been a part of the community for so long. The teachers are highly qualified, which you do not always get at a school that has a preschool. Academically, our children received differentiated, hands-on learning experiences in whole group and small group settings. They met and exceeded my children's needs academically. Often the class sizes were small, which was great for academics. Socially, the school provided opportunities and events for additional socialization, like "Lunch and Learn", field day, fall fest, and much more that I don't even remember. My kids loved yoga, music, soccer, Spanish class as part of their regular school day. The school navigated through the COVID pandemic and adjusted to meet the new emotional changes COVID brought for our children and their classes. Going through the twos program, preschool, and the elementary school my children have been more that prepared for the challenges of middle school.

Wonderful school, wonderful teachers, wonderful students and community! My children love it here ! We came from public school and never looked back! Highly recommend! Excellent education while keeping faith at the center of learning.
