While there are some great teachers, they are few. We have experienced teachers who refuse to follow 504 plans with no accountability. The school administrators prioritize SOL test scores over everything else because “this is where they get their funding.” Parents concerns are ignored by both teachers and administrators.

P. B. Smith Elementary and it is a fine school with a fine staff. No problem is to large or to small for getting the help we need from the staff at P.B. Smith to make our children's school year and home environment a good one. Thanks P.B. Smith and I'm a happy that I am a member of your family.

I love this school. Dr. Compstock is the most diligent principal I have ever met. She knows every childs name and treats them all as equals.

I absolutely LOVE this school!! The teachers are friendly and dedicated, the office staff is welcoming, and the administrative staff is appropriate in their discipline and praise. I have NO complaints about PB Smith and will greatly miss it when we move!!
