We moved here from a so-called great school district in East Coast (that we were not a fan). I have to say, with my experience of my own kids’ past schools and observing many other friends’ kids and their schools, Salida Middle School provides the most well-rounded school experience. Teachers are great at their work. Academic standards here is good and kids are having opportunities doing many interesting learning projects. This school also has great music, art, and sport programs that provide students many opportunities. Also, most importantly, most teachers we know are very supportive and cares about students’ well-beings.
