SAMi is an overall great school with many opportunities and diverse students. The only downfall comes from the administration who do not cater to our diverse students needs. Many times have I, a disabled person, been restricted from accessibilities and shamed by admin for being disabled. The students however are amazing, and so are the teachers, who are very inclusive and work with students to their best learning style.
