Wright Elementary school is located on Lone Oak in South Salem. It is home to the Falcons, and enrolls just under 500 students.
Wright pulls from established neighborhoods, so its enrollment tends to stay fairly consistent. This may change if boundaries are redrawn.
This school is also home to Mr. James. Now, I don't normally talk about specific teachers, but it is rare to have a male teacher in elementary school, and it is more rare to have a male kindergarten teacher. While I have never met Mr. James, I've heard nothing but raves from parents about him. He is one of Wright's kindergarten teachers.
Wright consistently gets a strong report card from the Oregon Department of Education. Here is the history of Wright's reports from the state of Oregon.

There are two online rating systems for schools. For additional ratings for Wright click here for Great Schools and School Matters reports.
As with all schools, I encourage all parents to visit the school and talk with the principal. You may find you like one school over another and ALWAYS double check school boundaries prior to the purchase of a home, if that is important to you.
If you have further questions about the Salem Oregon community or real estate. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions. I would be happy to help.
