GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.
