More About Us
Western Salisbury Elementary School is located in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, at 3201 Devonshire Road in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Our building was originally built in 1960 and remodeled with additions in both 1965 and again in 1989.
The demands on our building have increased dramatically since then and we are presently utilizing our building at full capacity.
Our building houses kindergarten through fifth grades. Our present school enrollment is approximately three hundred students and we make special efforts to ensure small class sizes.
We consider our school community, "family". Parents, staff, and students work together and cooperatively for the good of all.
Our staff is dedicated to providing the best possible learning environment for our students and are aligned with the "Best Practices" findings in educational research.
Our parents (and the PTA) are dedicated to providing positive support, both to the teachers and students alike. Our students are dedicated to being the best they can be.
