Small classrooms, principal knows every student's name, teachers have fresh, innovate ways for multiple ways of learning. Feels like a private school almost!

We love this school. Much smaller than most schools in Salem and a very friendly and respectful atmosphere throughout the school. A strong, dedicated teaching staff. The academics are strong; my son is reading two grades above his grade level.

A great school, strong community and wonderful teachers. I couldn't be happier. The only problem is parking issues but everything else is just great. We just LOVE it there.
