My kids had a long time in westside things change a lot and for good they are latinos and have the best grades ever! Unfortunately teachers can do all work if parents are not involved in ther education .. Its really sad to see kids waiting for ther parents to show up when they have ther promotions in school, education begins at home! My kids have bad experience with other children cuz they are latinos but i explain them that is cuz their parents dont educate them good . I cant just blame the school for that , and get them out , anyways they will always find people like that everywher! Teachers do what they can do but they are not the parent!

I attended this school, one of my younger family members attended here and both of us had our potential wasted. Favoritism is evident within the teachers and the environment is filled with forced "fun," as in forcing the students to have tons of energy from the beginning of the day then contacting home when they don't have that energy when they haven't been doing anything wrong or against any of the rules; we do our work, engage in the classroom whenever needed, and yet we are said to have had an "attitude" which was simply a stutter or social anxiety. Some teachers are kind and adapt to student learning abilities, but other teachers have yet to accept that children today don't act the same or think the same as children years ago.

My two children have been at Salem Montessori School for the past six years. We have had a wonderful experience so far. I love how independent my children are, and how much they both love learning. The teachers are wonderful. I am impressed with what a well-rounded curriculum is offered. I also love the focus on communication and peace education.
