I have been exceptionally pleased with the school. The principal cares for each child and the support of teachers are great. They go the extra mile to ensure that your child gets a good education. The school is a diverse school and there are families from all economic backgrounds but they treat each child the same and they all receive a good education. They are a Title I school and specialized in helping in Math and Reading and one year they had a Spanish speaking teacher that assisted with parents that do not speak English well. I am pleased all around with my child's progress at this school and think it was a great choice for my family.

I have been very impressed by how well organized they are. The teachers were all very kind. The PTA Volunteers I met were also great. East Salem has a great team and that usually comes from having a great leader. In the times I have spoke with her even though she was busy she took the time to help. John Bryant / Super Kicks Karate

I disagree with the reviews and rating that this school has received. My childs experience with this school has been horrible. This school only cares about test scores and not the well being of the child. Children are not allowed to talk at lunchtime, if any homework is incorrect they have to miss out on things like recess, gym,music, library. Lunch is sometimes eaten in class so they can do work....my childs self esteem is going downhill in this stressful environment.

The East Salem PTA is outstanding. Parent-involvement is like no other. My son attended East Salem K - 5th grade. We loved it! When I visited the school, the faculty and staff either knew my name or acknowledged me. I often ate lunch with my son and was always involved as a room-parent. Mrs. Barnett is a phenominal 3rd-grade teacher. Mrs. Craighead was another of our favorites. Visit this school. It is definately a rare find!

I think East Salem Elementary School has a fine group of teachers. I have 2 daughters 1 that will be going into the 3rd grade & another that will be just starting. My oldest daughter has been very lucky to have had such caring teachers. They have worked with her so much. Thank you and keep up the great work.
