The school itself, felt very underfunded and in need of better equipment and facilities to better the students experience. My experience, was good in how it prepared me for when I graduated and the support was amazing from both teachers and staff.

Para ser honesta la experiencia que he tenido en la escuela ha sido muy buena, sin embargo, no la pudiese comparar con otras pues es a la única escuela a la que he asistido desde que vine a Estados Unidos, pero me gusta lo amable que son casi todos aquí, si debería resaltar puntos malos sería sin duda la comida o el hecho de que son varios los estudiantes que fuman, pero de ahí en más siempre que tú le des una oportunidad puede resultar muy buen lugar.

My experience in W W Samuell high was good, IM involve in the band of the school which it was the reason why I decided to stay and also I'm in the Early college program that the school has too. Those two programs were the reason why it made my high school experience fun and enjoy full.
