| 5/6/2010 | parent | Great teachers! School gets the whole community involved in learning. |
| 4/22/2010 | parent | I attended South Salem, and now my daughter goes there too. Wonderful teachers, great principal, caring staff. I loved it then and my daughter loves it now. I wouldn't have her go anywhere else! |
| 5/13/2009 | parent | Both of my children attended South Salem and the teachers on all grade levels as well as the principals and staff have been instrumental in the formative years for my children. They love school and that is mainly due to the enthusiasm and community involvment with South Salem. |
| 9/21/2008 | parent | SSES is great!!! I am excited to for my son, I know he is getting a great education. The school is full of love for the kids and inspires the desire to learn. I could not be happier that we were able to live in this community and he is able to go to this school. He has attended SSES all of his educational life, now in the 5th grade I can only hope the Middle School experience will be even close to the what we have had at SSES. |
| 3/22/2005 | parent | South Salem is a school a parent can be proud to send their kids to. The pricipal loves the students and the teachers truly care and work well with the parents. The test scores they receive are always very good. The sports programs are second to none. I have 2 kids and never have I felt that the kids my children were going to school with were kids I should have concern with. What a great community! |
| 9/9/2003 | parent | Academic excellance is what you will find at South Salem. No matter if you have an Honor's tudent, 'middle of the road' child, or someone that needs a little (or a lot) of extra assistance, this is the school you want to choose! The experience and education they will receive will far exceed your expectations. |
