Neighborhood

Historic Downtown Salem is an iconic neighborhood with a plethora of tourist attractions based around the historic Salem Witch Hunt and Trials. Tour the Salem Witch Museum for an intriguing presentation of the history of the 20 innocent people put to death during the Witch Hysteria of 1692. Venture to 17th century Salem in the home of Witch Trials Judge Johnathan Corwin at the Witch House. Based on Salem’s rich history, the Hocus Pocus Tours is a major attraction where you can discover the Salem locations used in the iconic movie Hocus Pocus.

Deterring from the witch craze, Downtown Salem houses the Peabody Essex Museum with beautiful art exhibits as well as delicious local restaurants.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
