Smythe Elementary School Reviews

This school is very diverse from veteran teachers to young teachers. It is student-based learning and all the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Plus, they have Fall and Spring carnivals too!

The administration and overall attitude of the school is negative. Not a pleasant enviroment. No extra activities. The school offers the bare minimum if that. There is no since of pride. Our only good experience was with Mrs. English a 4th grade teacher.

This school could definitely benefit from new administration not just at the school level but at the district level too. All of the schools many short comings are blamed on a lack of funds however this school is in one of, the schools districts with the highest budgets. The problem is not the lack of money but the lack of proper budgeting and inadequate leadership, the teachers teaching mean well, but are just not being supported by their schools.

Quality of teaching is excellent. My children all attended school there. We have since moved to Texas, where they are doing great because of the Awesome education they received at Smythe.

I feel this school only cares about the money they recieve from the tax payers. They do leave our children behind. The school district is only interested in making money not really the education and well being of our children. The principal promises a lot and we never see any positive results. My advise is to look for a new school district.

I must say I was a little unsure about sending my son to school here due to the low school scores, but what an wonderful experiance. Mrs Colvin (K Teacher) made it all worth wild. What a wonderful lady. Always going out to do more then just teach. She made everything worth wild! Thank you for my son's best 1st year at school! Keep up the outstanding work! You deserve it all and more!
