The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Very welcoming when my daughter began in 2/17. I saw her blossom overnight at Smith. She has improved in every class. She made the A/B roll and she struggled at her last school. I'm very happy with the school and the staff.

Nice facilities, great staff, academics, sports and clubs! Global Connections is a focus/elective worth taking. Extra activities (dances, global connections night, etc.) are great for the school community.

I sometimes think this must be the best middle school in the country. My son just finished his first year here and he can't wait to go back for 7th grade. The principal and the majority of the teachers are excellent. The kids get along well - it is a diverse and accepting community of young people....
