The management at this school is excellent. The organizational structure is very good and the teachers work together a lot. The environment is very fun. The teachers and staff are very supportive of students and especially within the IB program, it's easy to make strong relationships with fun teachers that really care about their students. The quality of education is very good, aside from the lag that came with coming back from online school, but that goes for any school. Overall, South is an excellent high school!
I just graduated from this school and although every school has its downfalls, the experience was fairly beneficial! The culture of the school is very inclusive and promotes some of the best learning in the whole district.
I love South Salem High School because it is extremely inclusive, and a very exciting place to attend school. We are always so positive and caring toward our own students, as well as the other surrounding high schools. We have an amazing academic experience because we are the only school that offers the International Baccalaureate program in our district. This means we get many transfers into our school, including me! The teachers and staff are super friendly and they genuinely care about the students and our mental health. We offer so many different opportunities and activities, which make us stand out from the rest of any high schools in our district. Overall, this is an amazing school to continue your education at, and I would 100% recommend it to anybody.
