Now that my daughter graduated from Silver Creek HS and went straight to Princeton (this is not a joke), I can say with certainty that this is a great school. Just the fact that the school principal took his time to write a long and substantial letter of recommendation for my daughter exemplifies the efforts this school makes to help its students succeed. Bravo, SCHS!

Most of the teachers and staff there are decent and assist the students. Only issue is the students, and more specifically, how the school deals with them. Large amounts of students struggle with mental health issues and the school falls short in assisting them. These students often resort to drugs and sex and only worsen their condition even before they reach high school. The school is either poorly equipped to deal with these students or lacks the will to do so. I feel it’s imperative for the school to increase its ability to assist students like this who are clearly struggling mentally.On more positive notes the school handles special education quite well and students with learning disabilities are not hugely disadvantaged academically. Teachers are effective and want to help students.The largest issue are these struggling students who resort to very drastic measures, and while I do ultimately recommend the school, its important to be weary of these issues.All of this coming from a previous student.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with Blue Mountain. They foster an environment of parent inclusion and communicate very well. Our child has difficulties reading and the staff was quick to identify and action plan to assist as best they can with their resources. The teachers so far have been very open to meet and discuss how your child is performing and what else can be done to help if needed.
