I went to Salem High School for all 4 years of High School and for those 4 years I met students and staff who made me want to come to school, who encouraged me to keep going and showed me kindness and diversity that no one else in my district could have provided.

Amazing teachers, student involvement however is poor. Another thing is not a lot of classes are offered so it can be difficult for students to take what they want.

I started to attend Salem my sophomore year of high school, because I was a transfer student from Kellam High School. At first, I didn't like Salem because I had no friends, but I eventually started to meet more and more people. To this day (I graduated on 2020) I am still close to my high school group from Salem. The building is old, but I had really good teachers. The staff was super nice as well and the student body was healthy and diverse.

My son is in this school now. He is in the Art Academy. His experience has been excellent so far. Teachers are supportive and want to see their students succeed.

I love my school. It's the best one that I've ever attended.
