I am enrolled in the IB program at Smith, and I love my teachers because they are very hardworking and easy to communicate with; however, the facilities aren't very well kept. I also like that Smith has a bunch of clubs that you can join since that keeps me very involved.

My experience in Oscar F Smith High School is not the average experience that most students had because I am in the International Baccalaureate Program. My academics have been mostly separate from the rest of the school population but I still interact with the student body at sporting events and in my extracurricular activities. The teachers and faculty at Oscar Smith are knowledgeable in their specific departments and they do care for their students. The few bad experiences that I have had at this school are the many fights that happen during the school day.

Hi, my name is Julien Joseph-Olais and I attend Oscar Smith high school as a freshmen. My best experience I had at Oscar Smith was learning about woodworking and how to build stuff from scratch. My worse experience were all of the fights that happened at Oscar Smith. There was a fight every week and multiple gang fights through out the year.

As a graduate of this school, I can say that despite the derisive comments others may have this school has much potential and has produced many successful graduates. Current OS students: School is what you make it; therefore, make it good. Although all schools have it to some extent, the "good old b...
