Salem Middle School

This school is terrible just because they have a new principal does not mean the new principal is gonna do his job which he doesn’t. He allows his employees to disrespect the parents of the students and all he does is say he’s gonna talk to them, but the employee still continues to be disrespectful. The children aren’t learning anything and anyone could put fake reviews of saying that the school is so great in all of that this school is a terrible school if I was able to send my son to a private school I definitely would this school needs to be closed down. The principal and the assistant principal are very disrespectful and nonchalant. They treat the parents like they’re one of the kids thinking that they can say what they wanna say to you and you’re supposed to accept it like you’re one of the students rather than a parent, you ask the teachers to let you know if your children are having a hard time to give you a call. They never call you. They rather watch your child fail and give you on the report card of failing grade rather than let you know ahead of time that hay, your child is not doing so good. You might wanna work on they don’t do that. They have fun watching a child fail rather than help a child and I have no respect for the principal nor the assistant principal because the head principal, Mr. Clouser allows, his assistant principal to yell at other parents, and when they bring it to his attention, he does nothing about it.Dekalb County is gonna always be a terrible school system. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anybody even if they stay next-door to the School.Georgia cyber Academy is the best!! it’s sad that a child can learn better from a teacher over the computer than they can from a teacher standing right in their face.. i’m so over Dekalb school system. Well, I’m looking into suing the School for all the neglect and disrespect.

The school has the best and worst teachers. You get lucky you have good mentors, teachers who actually care and supportive, setting the kids up for success. And you have those who scare the hell out of the kids, proclaim communication is the key but if you have the audacity to reach out regarding some concerns or even questions they don’t take it professionally but personally and your kid got to pay the price. The principal is the most non responsive person and avoidant person ever, so no help here. I would not recommend because your child’s experience will depend on luck and if the administration can’t check their own staff and start surrounding themselves by people of integrity, professionalism and real passion and care for kids then this school will always be graded as an OK school and not top-notch.

Great experience when I was a kid so I want to get this five stars

My child had a teacher who was just starting their career teaching. It was not the greatest experience for my child. The teacher didn't know how to handle a lot of things. I was so happy when we got the opportunity to leave.

My child attended this school. Right before the first day of school, they changed the teacher without notice to the parents. My child was in a class that included three grades but the whole class was small. The teacher's grading was all over the place. And I was told after taking him out that I had to continue to pay every month because it is in their brochure, NOT ON THE CONTRACT that you sign! Beware and ask plenty of questions before leaving that building!

I am so pleased with GPCC! My daughter has been to numerous schools, but this is the best by far. She has improved academically and socially. The staff are loving and caring. Administration is a plus! I could not ask for a better fit for my daughter. Keep up the good work!!!
