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.

My experience with Greensburg Salem has had its ups and downs. I wish there was more opportunities in our district for kids who are wanting to apply for scholarships.

The greatest aspect of Greensburg Salem is its diversity. Many students from different ethnic and social classes can unite and create a community. The worst part of the district are the facilities and buildings. They are old and dirty.

The teachers and academics of the school are excellent. Our school offers classes that other schools don't offer. We have many opportunities if you're involved in school or even in ur classes.

Had 2 children graduate from Greensburg Salem recently. This school has prepared my children for college quite well. This school gave my kids a real world feel of life. The quality of the education was way above the 6.
