Crossler Middle School

Crossler Middle School sits in the south part of Salem, a mid-sized city with a mix of suburban neighborhoods, farmland on the edges, and a growing sense of community investment in its schools. Ranking solidly in the middle of Oregon middle schools, Crossler offers a balanced experience where math tends to be a relative strength, and families looking for a neighborhood school with room to grow will find a welcoming environment. Salem itself has a lot going for work — state government, healthcare, and agriculture drive the economy — making it a practical and affordable place to raise kids without the pressure cooker feel of some larger metro school districts.
