My daughter is i. A 12:1:1 class and they are very hands on. The teachers are all nice and communicate very well

Hell it was horrible I got bullied there

The teachers and administrators of this school are wonderful and truly care about the kids. They try to host events and include the community, but it is clear they do not have adequate funding to do so in a larger capacity. I have three children that attend this school and we are currently applying to different schools solely due to the non stop fights and lack of consequences that occur daily. There are fights at all grade levels daily, disrespectful students who interrupt classes and learning for the other students, and a severe lack of consequence or discipline to stop these behaviors.At drop off/pick up I have witnessed students yelling at teachers, walking away while being spoken to, a clear disregard. The teachers do the best they can, but there must be a lack of support that nothing has been implemented to address these concerns. Its unfortunate. Otherwise, we love the diversity and community at this school.

The best investment we ever made. Lower school I would put more emphasis on emotional intelligence. Something that could never be requested/achieved in public schools. EFS has the potential to implement a class related to emotional intelligence, as a subject just like math, and reading.

The most amazing thing with SMSD is their love of students and the changes this School has committed to over the past 50 years. The level of attention and the personal experience makes the difference in many students learning paths and lives beyond school. Their classrooms are modern and the historic building inspires students to be proud of that Buffalo heritage, and learn the real advantages ASL can bring in their personal and professional lives.
