Salem Middle School

• Virginia Beach City Public Schools, VA

Middle School Student: Salem Middle School is a very diverse school. There are lots of things to get involved in. The Music Department is really nice. Although, the administration is not so good. They just seem kinda blah and they don't interact. This school is really big in college readiness and has an AVID program. Overall this school is pretty rad!

Alum: Currently, I'm a Senior at Tallwood High School, but Independence was my middle school. I was in quite a bit of clubs that were active and the events at school were always well planned.

Azalea Gardens Middle School

Senior: Azalea Middle was a nice school, but nothing too special. I felt safe, educated, and prepared there, so all of the basics were covered. The orchestra experience was by far the most rewarding, as I discovered my love for music and made supportive friends. I was very saddened to leave the school since it was such a comfortable place.
