As a former Salem student, I can honestly say that I will never allow my future children to step foot in this school. This is a school that deeply prioritizes the over achieving, and ignores everyone else. Teachers and administrators shame students with lower grade point averages rather than helping them improve. Vast majority of the student body feels forgotten, invisible and helpless. A very large amount of the student population has severe mental health issues, for which they provide few resources. However, Salem does have an incredible counseling team. Sadly, they are painfully overwhelmed, and finding someone to talk to is virtually impossible during busy months. Several faculty members are highly unprofessional, and complain about their jobs to students. Majority of their complaints centered around their dismay towards the Salem principal, and their compensation. Some teachers had so much social drama going on it felt like watching a reality show. If you are looking for a school where your child will feel forgotten, unintelligent, and depressed Salem is the place for you! Anyone moving to the Plymouth-Canton area should factor in the price of private high school. (I would recommend St. Catherine's, Divine Child and Father Gabriel Richard)

Amazing school, exemplary. My daughter loves it. She used to hate school, but now she does so well! She even got excepted to Harvard! I can barely believe it! She was such a terrible student just 4 years ago in middle school...but now...she's practically shining!

This school is the worst, the teaching is all off and the students have no moral codes. This school is really biased and the lunch is the worst. SOOO unhealthy.Don't think about intending the school, instead, join Canton High School instead.

My son had ADHD and a school diagnosis of autism. They are accommodating him very well. We moved here for the schools and especially their Special Education was great and the same with all programs.

This school is garbage. Don't believe me if you don't want to. Just read all the reviews on canton or Plymouth about how this school DOESNT prepare you for collage.

The "Park" offers a vast amount of opportunities for students. I think it would be difficult to match it. However, the enormity of it all is not easily absorbed by some students. The college atmosphere may be beneficial for many but others are overwhelmed by it. Our daughter struggled by this element. Most of her teachers great as well as her counselor. Joining something at the park is a must to give your student a sense of belonging. Safety is a high priority on the campus but there will always be problems with such a large population.

We moved from New Jersey last September. The school is great and my daughter loves it. The teachers and staff are very nice. Great attention from everyone.
