I love this school! I am in 6th grade with a wonderful teacher and principal! This school is totally safe! I don't even want to leave!
My child has been going to JFS for the past two years. It has been a wonderful experience for us. Outstanding staff, very active PTA, overall a fantastic place. Facilities (computers, reading material, art etc) are very good. PTA is very active. We sent our child to a private school earlier and are very happy to have moved her to JFS.

Both of my children attended JF Smith School from Kindergarten thru 6th grade. I remember Will Ector, who was a wonderful principal but only there to get the then new school up and running (he is now a district leader). The current principal Mr. Hodgins is kind and wise and a fantastic school leader. He is involved with his staff and the students; he is ever present, whether at dismissal time DAILY or at school special events. His attention to detail and strong vision of quality for JF Smith has kept it a bright spot on the somewhat dismal array of educational facilities. Every time I listen to other parents lamenting over their child's school I am deeply grateful that we found JF Smith. Of course the other factors in the success of JF Smith are the great teachers and very involved and supportive PTA.

The school is great, the teacher is very good & professional. The facility is very modern. Thanks to PTA support.. I'm not sure about the principal, I think the previous one, Mr. Ector is much better. However, they should change the school secretary. Try as much as possible not to interact with her. She is just a rude & intimidating person

i am a sixth-grader at this school. I think that it was better when the first principal, Mr. Ector, was there. It has been very fun there, and the sixth grade teachers teach A LOT.

—Submitted by a parent
The school is constructive and disclipline. The academic programs are diversed and set according to each individual students. Although public, the school's student to faculty ratio is great compared to other schools. There are some great extracurricular activities and the level of parent involvement is substantial.

My daughter has attended this school for past year and half, The principal, Mr. Hector is a very involved principal in different aspects of the school. He is very approachable by parents. However, I had asked my childs' a teacher questions and she replied w/ I am too busy right now, will address later, and never did. The teacher was good overall but felt hat she could do better explanations on homework assignments. My child liked to go to school every day, she was very fond of her teachers.
—Submitted by a parent
Very active parent involvement by a small minority of the school make everything happen. These select few are owed much to there efforst, not unlike most public schools.
—Submitted by a parent
My two kids spend 2-3 hours/day on homework and they are learning at a fastest pace without loosing any interest in learning. All the students are completing to be better together and learning seen to be fun with my children s. The teachers and the principal have done a great job in motivating their students.
—Submitted by Jason Lee, a parent
This school is unbelievable! One reason is the principle, Mr. Ector. The next reason is the support of the teachers and parents. James Franklin School should be the model for all other schools to strive to be like. I could tell many stories on how the school went the extra mile for my child and my neighbor s children.
