11/18/2024

Ive loved the school and my experiences. Ive been able to take advanced classes that have pushed me academically. As a musician the band program is exceptional and has grown my love for music. As a dual sport athlete ive loved how accomodating the teachers are to sports schedules, and the coaches are amazing. Overall its a great school and deserves its high ratings

Sam Barlow is such an amazing atmosphere to grow and learn in. All of the teachers and administrators are welcoming and make sure you get what you need to succeed. The performing arts programs got me through high school. Having such incredible programs for us students made high school so much more enjoyable.

There are some outstanding teachers and there are some not-so-good teachers. The bathroom problems are always occurring no matter how much change is enforced.

Trash.The school is trash. Nothing more, nothing less.... The school is like a factory. They try to ship(graduate) students out of that building as cheaply as possible. They don't care about the quality of the education.
