West Salem Elementary School

This school is amazing! It has met my kids needs at multiple different levels. The teachers and principal encourage student learning in such a positive way. My kids are excited to go to school every day.

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.

Principal Routt started at East in the fall of 2019 when my son started Kindergarten.She has had an absolutely wonderful impact on the school as had Assistant Principal Thomas. Routt and Thomas knows each child in the school personally and are vested in ensuring their social, emotional and academic needs are being met. Also, all of my kids teachers are happy with the school leadership which speaks volumes. Additionally, the teachers at East are stellar. They are driven and compassionate to see the students do well but also understand kids are kids and make the learning environment fun, comfortable and engaging. And the school collectively met the challenges of everything Covid sent their way. I am so happy my children get to experience the inviting, diverse and compassionate environment of East.

My kids have all gone to south salem elementary and I believe the school is excellent for general education as well as being super supportive of special needs kids. My children are thriving and I believe alot has to do with the support they have received from their teachers and staff. My kids love it there which is huge, because they actually enjoy going to school everyday.
