Im a teacher at The A. Maceo Smith High School and I love it! The administrations of the past were the ones that held the iron clasp rule. I don't have anything bad to say about them but let’s just say things are better. In the past there was very little accountability. People really did what they wanted to and the expectations where very low for both students and teachers. The OLD A. Maceo Smith was a place that teachers came who wanted to just collect a check. They could get away with not teaching the kids. For 7 years straight the school was low performing. Woodrow was the last principal at that campus that had acceptable academic ratings (please check with TEA because that’s a fact). In stead of bashing the current principal you should be asking the district what took them so long to get rid of the old administration. For 7 years they collected a check and didn't move the campus. Now is that doing right by kids? I'm so confused......you don't like the new administration that has in one year made gains in both math and science but you don't have any issue with how the old administration sat for 7 years with out moving the school from being an unacceptable campus. Sounds like it may be some personal things going on with this one. I think the new principal of A. Maceo Smith High School should hold every person on that campus responsible for the education of the students in that community. There are still a lot of teachers there that need to move on. They are not trying to help kids, they are there to out last the principal at all cost. It really is sad because if anyone has every met this man they'd know what he's all about. The only thing that I can say is "Touch Not Thou Anointed". The God fearing principal has more than man on his side. I would also like to thank the owner of this web site.....for allowing all view points to be expressed no matter how far right winged they are.

PS Why not try volunteering at the school and see what you can do to support the students & teachers, after all they are the reason everyone in that building has a job!
