Smithfield Elementary School
My son had a terrible time in Kindergarten at this school, but seems to be doing better in first grade. It really depends on which teacher you get. The administration is so-so, and some of the buses are really rough. Overall, I haven't had a great experience with them, but I'm ranking them as average because there are others who think it's a good school.
