Salem Elementary received a yellow rating in the state assessments from last school year. Yellow is the middle-rating of the five colors in the rating system.
Salem saw a decline in its combined reading and math score by 4.5 points from the previous year, which earned an orange rating, the next step below yellow.
However, Salem Elementary fared better on the science, social studies, and writing indicator receiving a green rating.
Salem Elementary was one percent below state average in the number of students scoring proficient or distinguished in reading, but was seven percent higher in math, six percent higher in science, 14 percent higher in social studies, and 13 percent higher in combined writing.
