Smackover Elementary School has given my sons a great foundation for thier studies now. The teacher to student ratio is a bit more rational here as well.

Smackover is a great school. The teachers and administration really care. I am teaching at Washington Middle School right now and it's showed me that Smackover is better organised and just all aound better than many near by schools.
