SALEM MIDDLE SCHOOL

SALEM MIDDLE SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the SALEM R-80 school district, located in SALEM, MO with about 215 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, SALEM MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

SALEM MIDDLE SCHOOL, located at 1400 Tiger Pride Drive in Salem, Missouri, serves as a key educational institution within the Salem R-80 School District. The school is dedicated to fostering an environment where students can develop academically, socially, and personally during their transition from elementary to high school. By emphasizing core subjects alongside extracurricular opportunities, the school aims to prepare its middle-grade students for the challenges of secondary education while instilling the values associated with their "Tiger Pride" mascot.

As part of the broader Salem school community, the middle school focuses on building a supportive climate that encourages student engagement and community involvement. The school utilizes its website (http://www.salem.k12.mo.us) as a primary communication hub to keep parents, students, and staff informed about academic calendars, district policies, and upcoming school events.
