I believe that Silver Lake has done an unsatisfactory job with teaching my children. There is little electives and teachers do not seem to have an overall interest in the children. I made the decision to move from Boston to Kingston after learning about the newly built school, hoping it would give my
... Read more children a better learning environment when one of them was an 8th grader and the other 2 were in elementary school. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Where they last attended school teachers had a much greater interest in helping the children during their current lives and helped encourage them to reach a brighter future, at Silver Lake I observed a lack of want from the staff to help the children. Also, their athletic department seem to be below other schools and their MCAS testing scores are lower then other schools in the district. I was not happy with SLRHS. Read less

Silver Lake Regional High School has enormous potential to be an outstanding school for both students and staff. After the construction of our new building, I believe many discomforts among students in the building will be alleviated. The quality of the teachers is sorely lacking . I do not believe that
... Read more the teachers are given enough structural guidelines to their lesson plans and grading policies. It is very difficult to understand what direction the teachers are going. Most teachers skip over lessons and are lacking vital organizational planning skills. In my college prep-honors classes I am very pleased on the amount of effort 4 of my 7 teachers are putting into their jobs, while 3 of my teachers fail to facilitate class issues, fail fully explain case studies and lessons, and fail to return graded assignments in a timely manner. Our administrators are doing an exceptional job facilitating behavioral issues among students without disturbing the classes. Overall, Silver Lake is a quality high school but the science and mathematics departments are un-exceptional. Read less
