In order to set appropriate goals for the district and assess our progress toward those goals, Salem Community Schools relies on many kinds of information.  Various types of data considered include financial information, student performance indicators and test scores, as well as descriptive statistics about our study body and community characteristics.  These numbers allow us to compare our schools to others in Indiana as well as to chart our growth over the years.  Below are statistics from the Indiana Department of Education, as well as links to more detailed information on Salem Community Schools.
