Smithton Middle School has its up and downs. Being a student myself, it was a personal hell ride. The administration needs to do better and straighten out their priorities. I suffered a depression in that building and felt I had no one to turn to. While some teachers and staff have their fun quirks, others are very strict, demanding, and do not make the best decisions. Thanks for your time.
