Paul R. Smith Middle School

I am a past student at prsms and possibly had the best time ever there. The princible helped everyone who needed help. The guidence counciler wa the sweetest woman i ever met and helped me personally get through alot of things. Also my little sister goes there now and she said she loves it but some of the students are brats when they dontget there way

I'd like to know why my review was removed, who's running this site anyway - the schools???? I complained a couple of weeks ago about the guidance counselor reporting our family to Child Protective Services because of a bruise. This will probably be removed also, but I'll keep posting my review anyway. People should be forewarned.

I am not very happy with Paul R. Smith Middle School as a parent with a child that has Special needs, I find it very disturbing that my son has been harrassed at this school for the past two years. I was not happy with how it was resolved last year and I am not happy with how it is being resolved this year. If the school has students that are bullying other kids and the school is aware of it, then something needs to be done. Not just referals and a slap on the hand. These kids are bullies and need to be stopped. Not only was my child taken down to the ground, but was humiliated in front of other students when food was thrown on him. Where are the teachers to see this, where is the principal. It looks like the kids that are going to Paul R. Smith are animals and need to be domesticatic. Perphaps the parents should be brought in and advised of what their kids are doing or at least let the parents handle it amoung themselves.

i have a seventh grader at PRSMS and i have to say since starting this school year out his grades have changed drastically for the better. Last year he was struggling to get by and had a very negative attitude twords school but this year he is very close to making the honor roll and he loves his teachers!

My daughter transferred from Pinellas county, and was having trouble getting help with her academics there, and I had a real problem with the crowded school system there. We are very happy to say that she has made straight A's this year, and the honor roll. The classes are smaller and my daughter is getting more help. I had to call to get an early release and I had to answer 5 personal questions that i had to go get forms out of my file cabinet to answer, this NEVER happened in Pinellas county they just release the kids to anyone with a note. I believe your experience at a school is what a parent and child make it. I think this is a great school and that the faculty is doing an outstanding job!!I feel well informed as a parent, and my daughter is successful, that is most important!

PRSMS is an outstanding school..The staff and Principal especially try and make this an excellent environment for all middle schoolers and parents! Keep up the good work! I have 2 kids there and one has a learning disability and they do their best to help him in any way they can!

I think PRSMS is a joke! The staff states that they want all students to succeed. Nice lie. As long as the students fit their mold and don't have any issues everything is fine. If your child has learning issues, good luck getting help here. I would not rec. this school to anyone.

I HATED this school. The students were terrible. Some teachers were very mean. Also the guidance counselor I had was terrible! I left the school and am now home schooled.
