I graduated June of 2022 and I will say that I have an overall great experience. I was extremely involved with sports and the academics are really good

North Salem High School is extremely small, with about 100 students per grade. This has positives and negatives. While the smaller quantity of students allows for more personalized attention from teachers, it also results in social downsides such as less opportunity to make diverse friends.

The school is alright. Classes are very small; a class usually has 20 or less kids. The teachers are good and provide good guidence. However, the school has very poor selection of activities, clubs, and sports. Also the diversity is very poor; the school is very white.

My son had told other me the kids scream racial slurs and it had effected his learning because he is very easily distracted. He has also informed me the teachers screamed the slurs back at the student. My child is not in special education so I wouldn't know. My son has had some mental health issues...

It has been an awful experience and we are moving to a new district at the first possible opportunity. One child in our child’s class has already left for private school due to their negative experience with the school community. We may be next.

Least racist school ever. I don't know why everyone says there's a problem with racism. I'm a minority myself, and I've never had an issue with racism. Everyone here is unbelievably accepting and friendly. I've never encountered a racial slur or had anyone treat me any differently because of my skin...

Great school! We have lived in three different states and I have to say we love the small town feel and the one on one our children receive from their teachers.
