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.

The best part I would definitely say the school excels with students participation, but a bad thing that the school has is a lake of communication. Either from school admin, to teachers and students there is always no proper communication.

My Salem High experience was decent. I will say that the school prepares kid somewhat for college, however the academic performance of the school is very poor. I will say as a high school student graduating from Salem it is very poor in academics and student engagement

Salem High School is a great high school, and there isn't much to completely complain about and talk down about the school. I could have had a better experience, but events like being put in classes I personally was not ready for was completely out of everyone's control that tried to assist me. Overall, I would recommend Salem High School. The teachers can sometimes take time to get to know the student, and when they do, school becomes tenfold more exciting and motivational

My overall experience at this school was terrible. I will say a contributing factor is that I had come from the Gwinnett County public school system and coming into Salem they were already behind in curriculum by at least a grade and a half (some classes being even further along than that time frame...
