Edwards County Community Unit School District 1

As its name suggests, it is located in the village of West Salem.

Likewise, West Salem Grade School tutors students from prekindergarten to grade eight under supervision of principal Mark Beckel.

The high school is governed by principal Dale Schmittler;[1] the district superintendent is also David Cowger.

Albion Grade School, however, also sports a club centered on Christianity.

In the high school, there is a much broader variety of clubs to choose from: member clubs include various clubs centered on creative arts, career advancement, and academic classes, although there is also a National Honor Society, a local chapter of the FFA, a student council, and a weight lifting club.
