At Salem there is a family type of environment. Here they have a 6 point grading scale that can take a while to get used to, but once you get used to it, it gets a lot easier. The teachers and faculty here constantly try their hardest to make sure that you know that they are there to help you with any and everything. While there’s a family type of environment, you can tell that some students are more privileged than others, especially when it comes to sports. When it comes to academics, the teachers here will not let you fail, they’ll give you chance, after chance, after chance to get a good grade. The only thing that gets annoying is how small the school is with so many people in it, but overall it’s a good school.
The environment is amazing and most teachers truly care about you. It offers International Baccalaureate and AP classes. There is a variety of class choices. Their are also several opportunities to participate in an internship in your preferred area of study your senior year. Their are dozens of creative clubs for everyone to participate in. They have a 6 point grading scale which is more challenging to keep and A but teachers often grade with a curve. People move to Salem just so their child can go to Salem City Schools. It is perfect for every type of learner and person!
My experience has been wonderful. I know my teachers truly have cared about me, from kindergarten to 12th grade.
Like any school system, they do have issues that need to be taken care of such as the availability of certain classes. I think they need to offer more AP classes for all grade levels. Currently, they offer very few AP classes and are focused on IB courses, which only helps students if they go for the full IB diploma, which takes a lot of time and stops students from receiving credit from high school courses. My experience with my IB courses has taught me a lot, but it has limited my college credits.
