I do not believe the school is a good environment. Children are criticized and bullied by the other children whose parents are predominantly in charge of PTO and policy. Children are not allowed to complain and when they do the blame is put on the child. All in the spirit of keeping their numbers low. Let's face it if there's never a statement taken then there's no report to file so their numbers never reflect these issues

I have had two children attend Smyrna Elementary School and have been very happy with both of their experiences! The teachers and staff are wonderful and caring. The principal Mr. Morrison is great and keeps things running smoothly and the kids love him. My youngest son is currently a 3rd grader at SES and he has a wonderful teacher and comes home everyday telling me how much fun he had. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a wonderful learning environment for their child with caring, excellent staff!! Every other parent I have spoken with in the school is as enthusiastic in their praises. Can't say enough good things about SES. One statement of caution; If your child is going into 3rd grade make sure you ask your 2nd grade teacher for a recommended teacher the following year. There is one 3rd grade teacher every one familiar with knows to avoid.

Top School in the district. Teachers work hard and care even harder for their kids.

My son is in the second grade at Smyrna Elementary and I couldn't be more pleased with his performance! From the very start it was noticed by his kindergarten teacher that he was having difficulty with the work and he was immediately tested for possible learning deficits. He was placed on an IEP and was given the extra help he needed to excel. All of the teachers here demonstrate daily their love for teaching and their desire to have your child reach their full potential and beyond!

Amazing staff, amazing administrators. I have a child who had behavioral issues that prompted expulsion from 3 separate child care centers. Even prior to his first day of school they had communicated a plan to me and valued my input as a parent. He made significant progress in the first 3 months and now, starting on our 3rd year in the Smyrna Elementary School he is an enthusiastic learner and excels! I cannot thank the staff and administrators enough for all of the support they have shown my son and me. My daughter, who does not have the issues of her brother has also blossomed under the guidance of the teachers. I highly recommend this school to anyone. Seriously, the BEST!
