Outstanding and dedicated professionals. So many teachers "own" their students and their well-being. There is so much potential for this school and community. Although it has not yet arrived at that potential, it is well on its way! I would not mind at all if my child attended this school.

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.

the staff are not helpful and my kids have been sick at school, which the school never call me to let me know nor have my kids been able to see the nurse there teachers will not allow them. I've had them put my kids on the wrong bus along with the school making them miss the bus making me have to leave work early to get them. This is the worst school they have been too.

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.
