My son progress is zero. They complain about anything like going to the bathroom or things that kids do normally. But when I complain about a bullying they never trust me or my son

The staff of Smith Elementary School was very supportive to my grandson and our family when my daughter died in October 2013. I will remain eternally grateful for the compassion shown to us. Academically, my grandson has done extremely well thanks to the efforts and encouragement from his teachers, social worker, librarian, principals, and other staff involved in his educational experience.

My daughter has just successfully completed Kindergarten at this school and she has made great strides. I am so grateful to her teacher, Mrs. Malachowsky, the principal, Ms. Eshoo, and the school's social worker, Ms. Naspa, for their commitment to making sure my daughter's school experience would be a great one both academically and socially. Not only has she learned proper social skills (which was a challenge since she is a social butterfly!), but has exceeded the Kindergarten reading level and has been placed in the Scholars Program. As an teacher, I am delighted with the education offered at Smith School, and am more than happy to recommend the school to other parents interested in their children's education.
