Our current corporation enrollment is just under 1900 students in grades K-12.

The North Salem Elementary School building has been remodeled and updated with construction completion in the spring of 2023.

This project increased safety protocols with a new office complex and clear sight entry vestibule. Our secure entry ensures all visitors are visibly identified prior to receiving access to the office complex. Within the office complex, all visitors must be approved through our Safe Visitors System before accessing the remaining areas of the school. The main section of the building, originally built in 1954, also received new windows throughout and many new exterior doors. Further safety improvements include a new parking lot to separate the bus traffic from the car traffic, widened lot entries, designated traffic flow patterns, and updated exterior lighting.

In addition to the increased security measures, the 1920 building was demolished and four new classrooms were added. The old office area was completely remodeled to create a large media center complete with new furniture and bookshelves. All areas of the school received new paint and carpet for an overall update.
