SISD has been a big disappointment since my children have been attending high school. SISD advertises that the children are first, this is not what I have been seeing. Once the children pass through the doors at SHS they are no longer allowed to have an opinion, and if there is an issue with your child
... Read more and a teacher you need to know that the teacher is always right - no matter what. Some of the teachers are good and many are not. Many of the teachers are not willing to assist students when they are having problems in a class. There is a LOT of yelling - students being talked down to - discrimination - and special treatment of certain students. The principal, and assistant, need to have control of the school, not the deputy on duty. SHS and the school board need a complete overhaul. Read less

As a Silsbee High School Alumni, I can proudly say that although EVERY school district has faults, Silsbee is still one of the best for being 3A. Yes, dress code and discipline is implemented stronger than most. However, the environment that Silsbee ISD creates for the students is one in which learning

When in school, I participated in Band, Choir, Drill Team, Drama, Student Council, Spanish Club, Key Club, and numerous other extra curricular activities that have taught me valuable skills that I still use in every day life. Most high schoolers, esp. those in 5A (larger schools) do not get a chance to participate in so many activities due to time conflicts and hectic scheduling. Students are going to get out of High School what they chose. No school district is perfect and no opinion alike... but my experience was wonderful! Read less

This school is a joke. Academically, students are not challenged. Most teachers seem to fear giving a student a failing grade. Others are apathetic and just putting in time until retirement. If you are not an athlete, there are no opportunities. Parental involvement anywhere in this district is

Silsbee school district has declined in the past few years due to increasingly incompetent leadership, and inability to cope with students. The Silsbee school board meetings, where rules and decisions are made,are completed with unanimous content. This is not because the ideas cannot be bettered or challenged,
... Read more it is because the only people that show up are faculty, the school board itself, and students that are not allowed to have any say whatsoever. This makes the environment hostile to teenagers, which in turn cause rebellion. Rebellion leading to students spending more time in SACK and detention and other wise being out of class. Teachers and administrative staff hide behind the strict ver batum guidelines rather than coach students. Sending students home for 'flip flops' and ear piercing rather than revamping dress code like so many other successful schools have. Sending students home is not an efficient way to address problems.

Silsbee High Schools academic programs are good because they have teachers that stay in touch with the parents and give constant updates on their progress. The athletic programs leave a lot to be desired because if you are not born and raised in Silsbee you are not given an equal opportunity on the

I'm a student here. If I were allowed to go to another campus I would in a heartbeat. They are way to strict with dress code here. Way too much discipline. We even have numbers they call over the intercom instead of our names. They discriminate against certian religions and lifestyles. The teachers

I really don't like our superintendant though. I think that's one of the things that's just messing up everything. He's not a superintendent, he's a dictator. If you're thinking about going to this school or moving here...don't! Read less
