Hal Smith Elementary School

Hal Smith Elementary is not a good school due to the new principal they have there she really doesn't show that she cares for any of the students it feels like she just there to get a check parents tried to talk to her she pretends that she doesn't hear you or she doesn't see you never comes out of her office so you really don't even know if the picture was there or not office staff is good friendly there's some teachers at the school that they're awesome teachers at makes you feel bad that they're working on the school like this that has a principal that doesn't care about her students or like teachers are the parents opinions

The ladies in the office are rude and to pick up your student is a hassel

The office staff is very rude and have no type of people skills!! It makes me dislike the school very much..

Only a few people in office are nice, most are rude which I can understand sometimes because they are understaffed. The counselor, the worse, she is rude and told me information that was wrong I think she was just trying to discourage me from asking for an iep test for my son. The iep was a nightmare to get the test done. They didnt want to give him one. I sent a certified letter requesting one and stating that that by law he has the right to have one then.. they did it. In 2nd grade my son came home with a letter saying that he fell and hit his head but they didn't have my info to call me in the middle of the year!!! Which they have had since kindergarten. They are so many bad things in this school. The reason I give it 2 stars instead of 0 it's because of 1 teacher. Ms Herring is the best she helped my so much, she cares about her students. My son's self steem was great when he was in her class. Nothing compared with the 2nd grade teacher that his attitude changed so much. Drop in and pick up of students is a caos and unsafe for kids and adults who are driving. Glad we are moving.
