Salem high school is part of the experimental college preparatory made out of three high schools. This gives so much opportunity in a school with many kids who don't have many great opportunities in surrounding school districts. You as a student can take part in the normal course, the stem academy, the arts academy, the business academy, the culinary academy, international bachelorette, or small learning groups course. All of these can change how your high school experience is. In 6th grade you get randomly selected to go to a high school, unless you have a sibling within 5 years of you, and that was my case. Attending Salem, I am a student of the stem academy, and I get classes with teachers that add a more thinking portion to their curriculum. And being on a tri-school campus allows you to make friends based on sport rivalry, where your chemistry lab partner could be across the net from you at your volleyball match. I wouldn't have my school any other way.
I really enjoyed the diverse amount of courses that are made available at Salem High School. They have AP classes, honors classes, a variety of elective classes, dual enrollment, and classes that take up more of your schedule based on your interests (multiple block classes). They also offer virtual school for any students that find that mode of education easier or more enjoyable. However, I have had more than a few unsavory encounters with teachers that belittled me, failed to actually teach, and graded unfairly. I would like to see teachers evaluated more properly prior to being hired, as I feel as though these issues could be avoided. Also, more maintenance in the bathrooms and highly used areas (stairwells, for example) would be greatly appreciated, as they are often unsanitary.
