North Smithfield High School is a good suburban public school. Any high school aged student living in North Smithfield should consider attending.

While the music department is OUTSTANDING and could not be better, I think the teachers need to improve over all. some of the academics and AP/honors classes that are offered set the path for college almost perfectly. there are some teachers who want their students to succeed and care about them but faculty has to take kids more seriously when they approach them about someone/something that is bothering them. the secretary's are rude and always seem like you're inconveniencing them. the student resource officer is very nice though and is fair when taking 'disciplinary' action. Although reasonable the bathroom/phone privileges are weird and restricting. Most of the students are plain rude and bully people daily.
