All around a good school experience. Great sports programs and facilities, awesome AD who is highly involved.

4.0 Senior

1/29/2025

Best part - teachers and guidance counselor really care about the students. Too much focus on sports. Not a lot of support for academics - sports get lots of recognition. Academic is not as celebrated.

This school and the city is the opposite of inclusive. If you are not playing a sport or getting a private coach you are looked down upon and made to feel less than adequate. There is no guidance or intellectual outlets for the students who are advanced and or "gifted". The school is not investing a...

Swept under the rug most of the time. Faculty and staff often only care for a handful of select students while the...

The teachers I have had these past 4 years have all been exceedingly intelligent and capable as well as engaged with their students. I can only remember one uninterested History teacher i...

Salem High School is a wonderful place to attend high school. Salem offers many clubs students can get involved in. The International Baccalaureate program is also provided. Dual enrollment with Virginia Western is also a major plus (it is free as of 2013-). This is my fourth year attending Salem Hi...
