My teachers have all been excellent! The school district has been forward thinking in issuing chromebooks to all of its students and moving some of its curriculum online (in the event of winter weather) which put us in good shape when the outbreak of Covid-19 took place.
The district is currently building a new technology center...I only wish that I would have been completed before my senior year. But I'm glad that future classes will be able to enjoy it.

I think this district does a very good job. Certain schools excel in athletics, while certain excel more on the academic side, so the students and parents can chose which the value more. The high schools are both undergoing a major overhaul that will drastically update them. My high school, Southside High School had 8 national merit scholarship finalists this year, and at least one person gets a perfect 36 on the act. The other high school, Northside, has made the state championship game 3 times in the last 4 years in boys basketball, as well as twice on the girls team, each with division one athletes.
I have lived in many school districts due to being in foster care and Fort Smith School District has always been tied with one other school. This has always been my favorite school district, right alongside Dewitt School District. Fort Smith staff members are not only understanding to everyone's situation but try their best to accommodate to it. They have many classes to take, some help make up credit more than other classes. This help kids who are in foster care make up many credits that they need to make up. You can't do this in a lot of other schools. While they do administrate appropriate consequences, when you make a mistake they push you to do better. I have moved to many school districts but Fort Smith School District and Dewitt School District was the only schools to be this way.
