Sampson Elementary School

Sampson has been an excellent school for both of my kids. The teachers love the kids and the kids love the teachers. It is a disciplined school. If your kid is not used to some level of discipline, s/he may have trouble at this school. In terms of activities; both of my kids never / ever complained about the activities at this school. They keep all activities short, sweet, and straight to the point. If your kid doesn't fit into the Sampson Box, it is the kid that has the problem. In my opinion, the "Sampson Box" is clearly defined: Follow the rules, do your homework, don't get wild in the school, and get along with everybody. You will just be fine...... Thanks to all of the teachers and the great principle of Sampson. You ROCK!!!!!!

I absolutely love Sampson! When we moved to Coles Crossing, many years before having a school-age child, we had heard through many people how outstanding Sampson was which led us to purchase our home in Coles Crossing instead of another neighborhood. What a wonderful decision that was! Our now 2nd grader has many friends who he has flourished with at Sampson. I feel comfortable and confident that he will continue to be guided by teachers and students who we are lucky to be surrounded by.

Last year at the school before moving on to Middle School. My daughter and us, as parents, will indeed miss this school very much! My child has been challenged by the curriculum in this school and, with work, has succeeded! This school seems to be the sun around which the community revolves around. If you contribute to your child's education along with the teacher and keep the lines of communication open, this staff really shines and will meet your child's needs as much as possible. I have never heard of the level of community involvement in an elementary school as I have seen at Sampson. The profile of the community generally contains many motivated professionals and it reflects in the importance they assign to participation in the school. I would not have changed the past five years!

Sampson Elementary is the main reason we moved into Cole's Crossing. We have 2 children currently at Sampson. We found that when trying to move into Cole's Crossing it is difficult to quickly get a house because there are so many Cole's residents that are not moving out they're moving around, because they love it. Year after year, Sampson kids consistently score at the highest level acedemically. For example, Sampson Elementary just won the US National Sumdog Math contest this week. Plus, having a great school has helped keep property values high! :-)
