Salem Academy Charter School is focused on preparing students for post-graduation. I attended SACS since 6th grade and I can confidently say that after graduating I felt confident leaving. I was prepared for my next steps.

I liked Salem Academy for its diversity among the staff and students. The aurora they give is very welcoming and they prepare its students for college academically.

3.0 Senior

12/12/2019

I have attended Salem Academy since the sixth grade. I am a current senior, and I would not have changed my experience at all. Our athletics are great (I have been a three-sport athlete for six years, and I alone, have won 7 championships). Academics are also above average, and I am happy that I decided to stay at this school.

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...
