I think this school is great! i love most of my teachers. There is no bull ying. But the food stinks, it is nasty and i never eat it the chicken sandwich it is not real chicken so i suggest you dont eat it if you want to live. the library has tons of books and great help. the teachers offer help to anyone who needs it and are very patient with people who actually work. dont go to this school if you wont cooraperate with them but if you will you will love it!!! love this place!!!!

I am overall pleased with the social and academic levels of SAMS. Although part of managment could take a closer look at the teachers ability to communicate with their students. Some of the teachers don't have patience to work with children. They have offered little support to some children I know when they seem to be a little socially challenged. They obviously do fine with academics because the children child pass with a B or greater but they have little or no tolerance. This has and does make the children come out with lower self-esteem. Thank you

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
