Smith cotton is a great school that has many opportunities to grow through their many activities they have an offer not only that but they also implemented the scale system so it is more readiness for the real world instead of A's B's and C's it's one choose and threes how you would get evaluated in real life so really prepares us for the real world and gives us so many opportunities to go to like the college as a Junior and senior and paying for our classes. Doing so many Hands-On activities.

One of the best parts of the school is the CTC and dual enrolment programs that allows you to take college class with the State Fair Community College.

They don't allow us to use the bathrooms before or after school and some of the teachers will not allow you to use the bathroom during class despite the five-minute period in between barely being enough time to get from one class to another in some situations. Another good aspect would be the diversity of the classes you can take and how broad or niche they can be.
