Niche Reviews
10/1/2022
Great performing arts programs. Many in that program in my grade came to the school just b/c of it & in spite of the bad reputation. Everything else is going downhill. Standards based grading is horrible & not being done right. Most teachers are great though. Admin now cancels many AP courses, but if you can take APs you will get an excellent education. Many clubs have been ruined by the extended schedule b/c students in sports can't do clubs. General atmosphere was good but new admin is on a power trip of "we can & will do whatever we want" instead of team approach Some sports have turned into a toxic culture. The school used to avoid the jock/brain/arts/tech/JROTC divisions b/c they are the same students across many areas. I don't think the new principal knows they are creating divisions b/c they wouldn't do that on purpose. Showing major favoritism to sports while undermining other things is bound to create division. My sport may benefit but the culture shift is sad.

The diversity of students and teachers is good. My experience at the school helped me grow and learn what kind of person I want to be in life, friendships and relationships.

I love this school and its diversity! I would not trade my experience here for anything in the world.

Some of the staff seem ok but then you got a good chunk of the school including the principal that could take a class on how to be empathetic and kind to people.

Horrible school with underqualified teachers, disgusting lunchrooms and horrible treatment at this school. Avoid at all costs!

As a teacher at Salem High School for more than 10 years, I have found the school community to be a supportive and respectful space. Many teachers offer extra hours beyond what is required to offer students extra help and support. We offer an extensive amount and variety of curricular and extracurri...

There are teachers here who truely care about their students and making sure they are learning and then there are teachers who are here because of tenure. The teachers who love their job stick out and they make their classes interesting and easy to learn in the enviroment they create.
