Smithson Valley High School

Posted August 23, 2009

I was struggling in school, and a few teachers worked with me and created a safe environment where I felt successful. My parents and I had several ridiculous conferences with administration to discuss the teachers that would not work with me. The teachers wouldn't listen to what I needed and administration wouldn't listen to my parents. All they would say is they had confidence in their teachers. The meeting would be twisted away from the true situation and blame was put on me and my parents. I thought at those meetings both sides needed to work on the problem. I would go to another school, but we can't afford it. If you have experienced horrible teachers, rate them at ratemyteacher.com. Maybe administration will listen to the students and parents this way and fire the incompetent teachers. Smithson Valley should have higher expectations. All their efforts seem to be toward sports.

I think this school is very uptight and well kept. It also has very nice and interesting teachers , they will always help you when you need something. The rules are strict here so you have to follow them well.

This is the best school i have ever attended. All the teachers and students are both great. The clubs and athletics programs can't get any better. KEEP GOING SVHS!

Our kids came from a small public school in Europe, and although change is tough for any kids- they settled right in within the first few weeks. There really is something for everyone. My child participates in Navy JROTC and loves every minute of it. Even as massive as the school is, the councilors sat down with us as a family to help plan my son's future curriculum.
