This school has been great! My daughter has been in this school since her freshman year, she is now about to be a junior. The communication with the teachers are excellent. I e-mailed a teacher and ask her to e-mail or call me, within 2 hours she called me and this was during the evening. This happen a couple of other times. My daughter loves the school. My only complaint is that I can never get a response from the principal or assistant principal. He tells us we can call him anytime, which is true, you can call all you want. Now will he or his assistant principal call you back.....that is another issue. But overall it's great!
Sure E.E. Smith will bring your grades up with classes that offer more credits because they are way easy. ThE REGULAR class for English that I took at the previous school that I went to was way more challenging than the honors class for English at Smith. I took Pre-Calc and we were basically just being graded to do basic math. Sure my grades got higher because it was that easy not because I learned anything but because we didn't have to do hardly anything. I am fluent in spanish and I really wanted to learn french and the reason why the counselor put me in Spanish despite the fact that I told her I wanted to be in French was because I already knew Spanish and it would be an easy grade for me . This defeats the purpose I did not want to go over something I already knew I wanted to learn something new.
I too was told that EE Smith was a horrible school when we first moved here. BUT, Let me tell you something! My son, who had not attended school in a couple years due to an illness, has done FANTASTICALLY well! The staff at EE Smith actually CARES about the kids education and teaches them RESPECT! My son is now an honor student and has a GREAT future ahead of him because of EE Smith High School!
This is the best school ever i love the golden bulls...........respect self respect other respect tradition we are golden bulls...
Thank goodness I didn't listen to 'word on the streets' at Fort Bragg about EE Smith! This school has been fabulous to and for my son. He is a 10th-grade student in the Math/Science Academy and has had wonderful teachers and rigorous classes. Safety and excellence are equally important to this staff. They are all excited about the Golden Bull family and its improvement. We are so incredibly sad to be leaving this summer. Wish we could stay to graduate AND send our daughter to Smith as well. Go check out EE Smith for yourself - don't listen to old rumors.
I am a freshmen at EE Sitha and i love it! That school to me is the best we have are pride and pasion. Are grades have come up by a large amount. They really sholdent call EE Smith students ghetto becuse of what they hear.Once they come to are school and see all the improvements they will really know how Smith works! Theres no pride like Golden Bull pride thats a fact
Truly greatful for the dedication of the staff and the overall parent and alumni involvement. Even when my husband's deployed, they take a special interest in my child and keep her interested in getting good grades in school and the extracurricular activities offered.
I agree that E. E. Smith has come a very long way. From the administration down to the teachers and support staff, everyone works as a team to make sure that each student has the opportunity to be successful. There are many curriculum options to meet the needs of the varied student interests and aptitudes, and extracurricular opportunities also abound. Additionally, safety is a primary concern of the administration, and is actively and effectively addressed. All in all, this has been a much better school for my teen than was a prior county school with a 'better reputation'.
Great School! Better with each year. Staff are professional, objective when dealing with difficult issues, and seem to really listen.
That one of the best schools cause of their test scores and there sports there like football they are really good at that but that is a good school there
