School Overview

Waldo Middle School serves families in one of Salem's more urban, working-class neighborhoods near the heart of the city, where the school community reflects the diverse, tight-knit character of the surrounding area. Academics here are a work in progress, with English and math scores ranking in the lower tier statewide, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh their options carefully. That said, Salem itself has a lot to offer — from the nearby Willamette River paths to a growing local food and arts scene — and families already rooted in this part of the city will find a school that's embedded in the real fabric of the community.
