Margaret Taylor Smith Intermediate School

We love Crosby! The teachers genuinely care about their students, and my daughter’s teacher always keeps me informed about her progress and we have never had any issues with any teacher. The office staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. The principal is engaging, kind, and always involved in creating a positive school environment. Mrs Bailey or Mrs Long literally drive to your students house to present a certificate and yard sign if your child is student of the month. I love that! One of the things I appreciate most is the warm and welcoming atmosphere—there is always a principal or teacher at the door greeting the kids with smiles and hugs. The school also has a great behavior reward system that encourages positive actions, and they offer a variety of after-school clubs and activities to keep students engaged. Most importantly, my child feels safe and happy here, which means the world to me as a parent.

The principal couldn’t care less. The assistant principal in charge of IEPs dismisses concerns, and the other assistant principal treats drop-off and pick-up like it’s a personal power trip.
