Smithfield Highschool is somewhat of a tight-knit school due to it being one of the few Highschools in Isle of Wight County. It was enjoyable for me because I was engaged in sports and many other school clubs. Not everyone participates in the school culture but those who do have fun.

Overall, some teachers in the upper level courses are amazing, but they lack support from the school and are underpaid. Within the next few years, most are expected to leave for higher paying districts. As for high level sciences, they are practically non-existent, with only one dual enrollment chemistry class. Personally, I would love to see higher paid teachers, more class options, and a less toxic school atmosphere.

I have two daughters at this school, who always felt safe and welcomed. Overall, their teachers were very good, and some were outstanding. I appreciated the support of the administration during the school violence protests that occurred during the school day. Communication was excellent. There are n...
