Great school. Very diverse and make learning interesting for the kids. Small classes, Small student body definitely makes it more personal for the students.

I graduated class of 1995. This school may not be for everyone. I say this only because you achieve at your own pace. This is a school for young adults who prefer to be responsible for themselves. The life lessons and academic learning i received still help me to this day.

My son has been at William Smith now for a couple years & it was THE BEST MOVE we have ever made for a school. The principal & the staff are wonderful & actively try to embody the spirit of Expeditionary Learning. Cannot recommend it higher.

My school is the best school I've ever been in. I just started my second year and they have told us what our first trip is. I love this school

Im a new student currently attending William Smith and I think it's an amazing school.. The teachers are really welcoming and they teach great,. There's not much of a drama in the school.. I like the fact that there are only 300+ students here.. In that way, the teacher can focus on a student if they need help. Great environment!!!!! :)

Best school ever. Teachers make attempts to help, and care about you rather than seeing you as another face in the classroom. So many opportunities.

i go to this school and dislike it. I would not reccomend this high school. They stated that when I came here that it was for acceling students which was a lie. since attending this school my grades have dropped and I am not okay with that. the last school year I finished will be my last year attending William Smith High School.
