I mean there’s like a lot of bullying towards lgbtq students, from my own personal experience, and a ton of drama between students that makes learning get interrupted, and some teachers rlly suck but overall, it’s okay I guess. Better than shadow ridge def.

This is a newer and very big school. It has an amazing sports facility with more than 1 feild. Its actually a very nice facility. There are some good teachers, but I haven't seen anyone really great. There are a few counsilers that go above and beyond, but I don't think they receive much support from the principal. They also don't hold these kids responsible for their actions. There seems to be no enforcement of attendance and no structure for discipline problems. I have tried to become involed or volunteer my time or anything and haven't received a response at all. The student body seems to ditch class very often and they all hang out at the park down the street. No one does anything about it. We are moving our student to a different high school. It's a shame, it's a beautiful facility, the school of business is great. But it stops there, the sports teams aren't very good. Attendance is horrible, drugs are everywhere, and all the staff blame others, if they care at all. Maybe a new principal and some intervention from the district would help. It has such potential. We are completely disapointed and our time here was a waste. The drop out rate for this school is climbing. I'm stunned that no one sees this and intervenes. I plan to write a letter to the district, but I don't think it will matter. If you have another option then send your kids to that instead of here.

Our family's experience with Silver Creek Elementary has been nothing short of outstanding. We have two daughters who attended this school, and our journey with Silver Creek has been remarkable in every aspect. The teachers here are truly the heart of the school; they are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and supportive. Their dedication to each child's learning and well-being is evident in the way they personalize their approach to meet individual needs and foster a love for learning.The curriculum is well-rounded, challenging, and engaging, ensuring that students are not only academically prepared but also encouraged to be curious, creative thinkers. Our daughters have thrived, developing both intellectually and socially. The school also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, allowing students to explore their interests and talents beyond the classroom.Furthermore, the school environment is warm and welcoming, making both students and parents feel valued and part of a close-knit community. Mr Oliver, and the rest of the administration is approachable and responsive, always willing to listen and collaborate for the betterment of the students and the school.We are extremely grateful to Silver Creek Elementary for providing our daughters with a strong foundation for their future education and for instilling in them a love of learning that will last a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend Silver Creek Elementary to any family seeking an exceptional educational experience for their children.
