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.

What I like about Salisbury Senior High School is the way the school is. The way it is set up and we have very good guidance counselors who help us all graduate. One thing I don't like Salisbury is that when a student has a problem with something they don't do anything about it.

I am a senior at salisbury this year, and there is a lot to say about this school, it's administration, it's students and their teachers.
