Read what parents are saying about Smith Elementary SchoolPreston Smith has been amazing for both of my sons since Pre-K. From the principals, to the amazing counselor, and the teachers everyone truly cares for the children and their learning/well-being at this school. BEST elementary school in Lubbock.
Posted by a parent on 7/10/2023The administration care more about the appearance of the school than the students well being.

Posted by a parent on 12/20/2018Smith is excellent, and it is a nice area to live in. I have a second grader - we transferred here from a school with identical ratings in Round Rock, Texas. I am impressed with the academics and spirit at Smith - the teachers are wonderful and the students are very well behaved. If there are any issues that come up, the teachers have a disposition to be sincerely helpful to assist each child so they can be successful in school.
Posted by a parent on 10/11/2016My daughter finished pre-k at Smith after starting at a different school. She is shy at first so the transition was a bit overwhelming for her but her teacher and the kids helped to make her feel welcome! Love this school! We are lookinh forward to kinder this year!

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a student here for 11 years. Most of my life (I'm now 20). I was bullied by virtually my entire grade and teachers and despite letting admin know, nothing was done. When my parents alerted the school of an event that occured at home relating to expirences at school, they were told I (13 year-old) was lying. I will try to focus on the "important" things in this review. This school prides itself on academics, yet is years behind public School. I had straight A's my entire life, when I moved to public school in 9th grade my grades dropped to loses and even a couple f's. I also did not learn much about how a Christian should live, as I was being taught how to be kind from the least kind people I knew at the time. Also, neat little sidebar, we got taught how to deny climate change in 7th grade and why scientists are after Christianity. Regardless of your personal beliefs, I don't think kids should be taught apologetics when they are literally just starting puberty. Also, your kid will not learn great social skills. I have an extremely hard time communicating with other adults. I think that is in large part due to the fact I did not have to make new friends from first grade onwards because I already knew everyone in my grade. You may be reading this thinking "well I wouldn't WANT my kid to communicate with non-believers" but I even have a hard time socializing with other Christians. Think of it like how in extremely remote places the people there often have a specific dialect that is virtually unintelligible from anyone outside the community. In my experience southcrest creates a very similar affect. If I had to pick one thing from the school that I think is proficient, I would say they're reading and writing program is pretty good. Other than that I have no kind words for this school.Other Review1y ago
