I am a birmingham city schools employee and I don't think Smith has a nice school. Compared to Martha Gaskins a wonderful school ! they are ignorant of such things. As far as work goes teachers are yelling each and every minute. Hudson acts better than them. This is why I rated Smith one 1. It is not my fault for uch madness!!!

At first, I listened to all the 'nay sayers' about Smith school. Sure, it's just like any other school. They have their good days and their bad days. Overall, they are doing an excellent job. There is a need for more teachers so that they can offer more elective classes and technology is a major issue with the school. However, my child really enjoys his school, teachers, and administrators. As parents we must support them and stop looking for someone to blame.

This school lacks professionalism. Some of the teachers seem disconnected and unconcerned with the well being of the students in 7th grade.

Hello! My name is De'Eria Wimbley.I attented Smith Middle School from 6th grade to the middle of my 8th grade year.As a student,I would like to say that I think that overall,Smith is a great school. Sure,there are some things that needs too be improved,but the changes that are needed are similar to those of other schools. Mr.Willis is doing all he can,and it's working.Through my years of attending Smith,I could see the school improving. However,in the class room,the teachers would struggle to get their lesson across because of the students.Smith is lacking professionalism? Put yourself in these teachers place for a minute.Trying to teach these kids their daily lesson with their excessive talking. Not saying that I'm perfect.In conclusion,I would like to thank these teachers for giving me an education.And I am proud to say that because of this education received,I will be attending Ramsay Prepatory High School this fall!
