The "New" Schmid School represents all of the qualities a great school has. Teachers, administrators, staff, parents and students work together as a family to make decisions about our scholars. The school offers a variety of supports for students who are exceeding their goals, meeting their goals, and those students who may need a little extra help. Schmid is truly a family community and both staff and families take pride in our school!

My rating of this school comes from my experience being around the principal,.parent volunteers, teachers and students. This place is representative of a true community/family oriented school. Everyone there works so very hard to make sure that the students are getting the best education possible. They true put kids FIRST here.
