Jonas Salk Middle School

I have been at Jonas Salk for only two years but I have been in education for a total of 12 years and I have to say that the people that work there really do care about their students, parents, fellow teachers & administrators, custodians, aides, and anyone else that works there. It truly feels like a family and everyone is extremely positive even through these bleak times. I also live in town and from a parents perspective I could only be so lucky for my son to attend such a great public school. Everyone who works there should be proud of the impact they have on all the people that enter the doors of Jonas Salk Middle School. As an educator I'm truly inspired to be working with such a great group of people.

My son is in 8th grade - Salk has been a wonderful stepping stone for him. All his teachers have gone the extra mile to help him if needed. The administration has been helpful in all aspects of my son's education at Salk. We will be sorry to go.

This school strives to do better. With a solid foundation of veteran teachers, the staff volunteer their time and help out above and beyond what is required.

This school is horrendous, teacher involvement with students is horrible. The substitutes hired do not know how to teach. The teachers do not even check for completed homework.

This school is great. My daughter is thriving. She came from a private school last year (6th) and adjusted very well. The teachers are very responsive. The administration is on top of everything and very fair in their treatment of the students. The office staff could use a bit of interpersonal skills training. The curriculum is challenging. Afterschool activities are many. The students have a chance to expand their knowledge and their social skill.
