The school is something I will always remember the memories made there.....” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-20 “Smoky hill has been everthing I ever expected for our childrens education, I have two student that graduated from smoky and one on the way to graduate. the one thing that seems to stand out the most about smoky is that it is a controlled environement, where staffs always knows whats goin on.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-10-23 “Its an awesome school! Everyone has so much school pride. Academic programs really push students to succeed. Students and parents will love it!” Posted By: other Quality Score: 2 2007-08-23 “I was a student in Smoky Hill High. It was a great school academically ; however, discipline was of small priority with in the school system. I noticed that kids were more interested in messing around than actually behaving in the class. Kids would always complain on how the school is so strict. It seems they don't have the where with all to understand why she continuous to tighten the leash on the student body.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-04-19 “Smoky Hill is a great school. The teachers are really nice and understand the students' needs and concerns. We are a tight knit school now more than ever. Sure, we have drama at times but what school doesn't? Everyone here gets along no matter what your race, religion or ethnic background. Its a great school to attend. I personally look forward to each and everyday of my education, and attending Smoky Hill is a big part of why I do.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-01-24 “I am a parent who has had two boys graduate from Smoky Hill High School. 2004 and 2006. My oldest received 21 credits entering college through Advanced Placement exams in 2004/2005. He also was in several musicals and plays, and sang in several choirs. My youngest was in the Automotive classes which he loved and was in Track and Field. The parent involvement is outstanding. My only concern about Smoky(this is also across the board at all Cherry Creek schools) is that as long as there is no problems your children do very well, as soon as there is a problem, most of the educators suddenly are not available.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-12-27 “Smoky Hill has opened doors for me that I had never dreamed of prior to enrollment. The best aspect of Smoky Hill is the multitude of options. A student can chose to take regular classes, some AP classes, some honors classes, or all IB classes. Smoky allows a one to succeed in any path taken. The IB program can provide one with a better education than any other program at any other school in the district. From a parenting perspective, Smoky has made recent renovations (powerschool, freshman seminar, closed campus policy for freshman) to ensure support for students and allow parent participation. Ms. Brown, the principle, is an amazing woman and effective leader. There are enough extracurricular activities to satisfy any student's curiosity. The recent implementation of the block system of classes is the only fault of this school. The block system hurts students struggling to learn, while favoring higher achieving students.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 1 2006-10-04 “This school is crap, the other day my friend was approached by 3 other students. One of them pulled a knife and my friend defended him self before the knife user could strike, breaking the attacker's knee with his martial arts training. My friend got expelled because the kid with a knife didn't strike first?! What was my friend supposed to do? Sit there and wait to get shanked? He couldn't run as he was cornered. The kid with a knife was expelled as well but his expulsion didn't go on record, but my friend's did. Speaking as a former student, when I attended this craptastic school, I had a counselor named Mr. Kantor talk me into dropping out. Then went on boasting about the 'No child left behind act'.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-09-13 “There seams to be no structure to the classes, and appears to be hap hazard. I do not in any form like the way the class schedules are done. The 2 time a week class then 3 times a week for next week, is both confusing for parents but the student as well. They are not learning enough in that short amount of time. I would like for the students to return to the old ways where they had daily contact with each and every teacher, for a time period of no less than 50 min. every day. I do not like the fact that my children do not have a set time to be in school every day, start at 0700 end 1530
