Smith Elementary

Smith Elementary sits in the heart of Alief, one of Houston's most culturally diverse communities, where families from across the world have put down roots and built tight-knit neighborhoods. The school's scores reflect real challenges, and families who are weighing their options may want to look closely at supplemental support or enrichment programs to round out the academic experience. That said, Alief's vibrant community spirit and the genuine diversity of the area can be a meaningful part of a child's upbringing in ways that go beyond any single ranking.
