This School’s Reviews

12/16/2024

Salem Academy Charter School has been a great fit for my son. He has always had good grades, but this year has been especially positive because of his teacher, Mr. Omar Gonzalez. My son often tells me how much he appreciates his teacher's encouragement to do his best every day. I also really value the school's diversity. The one area I think could improve is the cafeteria food. My son doesn't like it, so I end up making his meals at home daily. Overall, I believe Salem Academy Charter School is a good school.

I've been attending Salem Academy since the 6th grade and now I'm in my final year. There has been many changes during my time here. This school has set me up in enjoying playing sport to making amazing relationship with my peers and teachers. I'm ready to apply to college because of the mission statement Salem Academy has held for us.

This is hands-down the best school in Salem. Overall, I'd say it has a private school feel, and its small size means kids can feel comfortable quickly. Academics are above average in terms of rigor, and teachers are responsive for the most part. Yes, there is a relatively high degree of discipline a...
