4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe town of Salem and Salem high school are very snoody, if you are not in the right clique, you will not fit in. You either have to be in the Elite crowd (or think you are) or receive Illinois Link and Medicaid. if you are middle working class, you are out of luck, nothing free or any help for your child.Parent Review6y ago
