Salem Middle School

This is a fun school! The teachers are so nice when I need the help, and they provide me with extra information so I can understand it a lot better than before. The only problem are my peers. I have switched tracks (year-round school), I am no longer with my friends anymore, but with a new group of strangers this year. Since everyone has already made friends in the 6th grade, no one wants to let a 'new' person in their 'clique,' for example, it may be awkward when they bring up an old story during lunch, and everyone but the 'newbie' understands how funny it may be. Besides the uninviting classmates, this school is fun to attend to!
