    "My son came to this school from another DPS school and has flourished. The principal is very involoved and quick to deal with any and all issues that have arisen. I would recommed this school over most any other in the city. The staff interacts well with the kids and my son, instead of being scared to go to school because of bullys actually likes going and has brought his grades up significantly."

    "I think what the principal and her dedicated staff of teachers are doing at Smiley is magnificent. In her second year, the school has really come around from being the local middle school that everyone avoided at all costs, to a great part of our community. The students love it and are getting a good education in a rigorous program - not an easy task when so many of the student come to the school with sub-par education, and often have parents who, shall we say, lack th kind of involvement necessary for a successful student. My daughter started this year in another middle school and transferred to Smiley. She is an 'A' student, but finds Smiley more challenging. She loves her teachers. and I am amazed at the teachers and the extra time and effort they put in. The principal knows almost all 276 students by name. The students notice. Smiley may not get the highest CSAP scores (much of it due to what they have to str with), but I would recommend it to even the brightest and highest performing students. It is safe and prior behaviorial issues have been brought under control. I can't tell you happy I am, after scrambling to avoid Smiley, and then tansferring my daughter in."

    "I would have to say that I am very disappointed with Smiley Middle School. Some of the teachers are very disrespectful to not only the students but the parents as well. They seem to care more about the name of the school then the students that attend it."

    "We selected thisschool because of the IB honors component but could not be more disappointed. The lack of respect that the administration and teachers have for parents and students is astounding. When concerns are brought up, there is a rolling of eyes and folding of arms, no professionalism at all. Some (not all) teachers yell and belittle the kids liek bullies."
