GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school has a lot of nice staff and students. I also feel that I learn a lot everyday during class. At first I was very nervous to go to a school with such a large student population, but once I got here I felt the closeness that everyone had with each other. The classes are all very engaging and there are many events to participate in almost every day.

Great tradition of excellence. My experience at E.E. Smith was a most positive one. The staff and faculty had a sense of pride that was conveyed to every student. I was very blessed to attend this high school.
