I'm a rising jounior at smith and me truthfully don't like the experence. Most teachers I have had don't care really at all it seems like they forgot what there getting paid to do. Don't get me wrong there are some amazing teachers at smith but there few and far between. It also seems like the main focus of smith is football football and more football yea the team is great but what about the marching band and other sports. Most people are proud of there high school but me I'm ashamed to say I go to smith. There sways seems to be a fight or something big going on and sometimes I don't feel safe going there.
The safe and ease of access location of the school is both a blessing and a curse. Children will be children- its easy to 'skip' class here. However, if these kids parents would be parents I don't think this would be such an issue- my kid skipped once...never again - he graduated with honors his senior year. I got more involved in his life like I should have from the beginning. The staff are great, they return calls promtply and will meet with you and your child if you request. The marching band is above average- they can really put on a show whne they want to and I adored the orchestra! I wish I could have gotten to attend this newer O.Smith High when I was attending the old one in SoNo. The only thing I would like to see upgraded for the kids here would be more language classes.
Oscar Smith is an excellant school. My two children excelled at Smith and went on to become lawyers. The staff ensured that my children were well prepared for both undergraduate and law school. I could not have been happier with my children's acedemic experience at Oscar Smith.
