We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love some teachers but the overall standards are unrealistic and they put test scores over students' well being

West Salem is an amazing school, and they gave me an opportunity to be a better person. I did not come from a good place and my life would not be the same without the West Salem Community. It has been an amazing experience.

I enjoyed almost all of the teachers I had at West Salem High School. If you reached out to them for help, they would help you. They were also willing to write letters of recommendation and help us students outside of the classroom.

West Salem is an amazing school. The teachers do a great job at helping you. Also, everyone here is friends. I see bullying, but it's becoming more rare. We have an amazing athletics department & everyone gets involved. The teachers make learning here fun. All in all the school is just great.
