Reviews
- Submitted by parent on September 05, 2023I just withdrew my son from this school. He is only in kindergarten and I after over a year of bullying with no action taken I decided to take him out. The counselor had a nonchalant approach to my concerns and defended the other student that was bullying my child. There was a threat at the middle school nextdoor and staff told the parents they had no idea about it, even though the middle school called parents and there was a heavy police presence. The teachers are clearly overworked and not supported by the administrators. There is no communication between the staff. Enough is enough. Do better Newton county.
- Submitted by other on August 08, 2023As a past student , I do not recommend South Salem Elementary School.
- Submitted by parent on March 14, 2022This school is good academically for my child she has been there since Pre-k and has advanced in every subject. My daughter Lauryn was in 3rd having classes known has quest with the 5th graders. She is currently in the sixth grade on a 7th and 8th grade level. Her teacher said in her senior year of high school she would be doing college work if she keeps her grades above a B average.
