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.

Smithville is an exceptional community, and citizens tend to gravitate towards it. The teachers are always very understanding and the entire town is so close-knit. Even with outsiders, we accept people into our town quickly.

I was prepared for college with the courses that I took. At the time I was there just a few years ago, improvement in the science department was needed.

I played softball my freshman year, but felt shunned by other teammates because I didn't belong to a competitive club team prior to making the team. I had a good experience being involved in theater performance.

Let me preface my review by saying there are always exceptions to the rule. The english department is phenominal and AP math is solid. There is a rampant alcohol and drug problem that both parents and teachers sweep under the rug and write off as "kids being kids". My problem with this school is mos...
