Hands down the worst school in Rutherford country with the worst administration and staff. Adults name call children and deny it, the favoritism is out of control, the clique with the adults is like high school, they will punish children 3-4 times for one offense, they blanket punish without looking into cause or details, they punish students based solely on other students reports with no adult present, all staff do not follow 504 plans, I could go on for days. I watched my well behaved kids who made decent grades slowly digress into having low confidence, poor grades, and emotional turmoil at this school. The principal does not listen to parents concerns. There is no “community”, parents are not invited to any type of class participation, holiday parties etc. You can’t walk your child to class on the first day of school, overall the environment there definitely pushes parents out. I’d give less stars if I could. I’ve lived in Rutherford co my entire life and I’ve never had as poor of an experience as I have had at CHMS. Do not send your child here if you can avoid it, please do.

One of my daughters is Autistic and has an IEP. Natalie Adcock is the SPED resource teacher and is amazing. My daughter's growth has really flourished and her IEP goals are well on their way to being met by the end of the school year.My other child is gifted and the teachers do their best at challenging her. Murfreesboro in general doesn't have a great program for student who excel until the junior high or high school level. This needs to be addressed district wide, but Salem teachers are really keeping her engaged.
