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.

Overall a really good school that has lots of room for opportunity and exploring/developing hobbies and interests. The 3 school campus dynamic gives students a small taste of a more independent, college life. The teachers can be very enthusiastic and intriguing, however, many seem like they don't want to be there or do the bare minimum.

Had fun participating in sports. I was able to make friends with people from very diverse backgrounds.

With the school being 1 out of 3 others existing on the same campus, the school spirit is very weak. Things like pep rallies, football games, student sections, etc. People just don't seem as inclined to have that typical "high school experience". Another thing that should change is the school safety policies. I understand that with the campus being so big, it's harder to keep track of things all around. But at the same time, it also makes it more dangerous as its easier to get away with things.

As a former Salem student, I can honestly say that I will never allow my future children to step foot in this school. This is a school that deeply prioritizes the over achieving, and ignores everyone else. Teachers and administrators shame students with lower grade point averages rather than helping...

Amazing school, exemplary. My daughter loves it. She used to hate school, but now she does so well! She even got excepted to Harvard! I can barely believe it! She was such a terrible student just 4 years ago in middle school...but now...she's practically shining!

This school is the worst, the teaching is all off and the students have no moral codes. This school is really biased and the lunch is the worst. SOOO unhealthy.Don't think about intending the school, instead, join Canton High School instead.

My son had ADHD and a school diagnosis of autism. They are accommodating him very well. We moved here for the schools and especially their Special Education was great and the same with all programs.
