I just want to reply to this post as another person who moved with a young family to Salem a year ago. We have had a wonderful experience here so far with the community, the people, the schools, etc. The quality of the teachers in the elementary school my daughter attends seems excellent. She is learning, thriving and making excellent friends. We enjoy living near public beaches, a world-class museum (The Peabody Essex), a vital downtown with farmers markets, live music, and great restaurants. Our kids take swim lessons at the local Y, enjoy excellent programming at the local library and museum, and enjoy the many playgrounds and beaches. There are many young families and a lively and positive community. Please don't let the above negative post dissuade your family from considering Salem for your family! Come for a day and walk around to get a sense of the city.
