the teachers know what they are doing but the overall experience is dry and lacking in vibrance. the teachers do there job and thats about it. the students end up having to work way harder then they would normally have to just to stay ahead.

Samson High not only felt like a school but it felt like a family. There are bumps in areas but it's evolving and a good school.

At Samson I liked how the teachers were reliable on helping you with work. I do not like that some teachers are unorganized with teaching and do not have structured teaching.
