    "My two girls go to Smyser and love it. The pre-K teachers are amazing and a wonderful way to start your child's education. We feel so lucky to be able to live in the Chicago and have our children go to a public school that not only takes their job seriously but exceeds expectations. The principal and assistant principal are very accessible and kind. I am a member of the PTO and feel that the parents that are helping and giving of their time are doing an outstanding job. I wish there were more members but it's understandable that most families have parents working two jobs and just getting by. We are thrilled with the diversity of the students, parents, teachers, and the curriculum. We are very happy."

    "My daughter transferred to Smyser 1st grade from a magnet school gifted program in 2007, and her sister began K here at the same time. We are thrilled with the change. Learning is thorough, integrated, and fast-paced. The kids have gym 2 times a week and music 2 times a week. There is a wide variety of after-school classes available for the kids with registration taking place near the start of the school year. The teachers are excellent, dedicated, and approachable. The principal and assistant principal are visible everywhere, it seems, and interact with the kids and parents. Best of all, we feel welcome in and around the school, which was not the case at the magnet school we attended previously. The office staff is terrific: helpful, friendly, welcoming. Expectations are set high for the children, and they rise to that high level. Discipline is balanced, appropriate, and consistent."
