Silverside Academy

Refuses to allow my son to bring his Epi-pen even though I filled out the paper work months ago. His teacher never turned in the paperwork. My kid has started calling himself names since going here. He went to 2 other schools before this one and never had as many problems.

The leadership under Dr. Joy Watson has improved this school so much! Her and her staff truly care about their students and pushing them to achieve their best.

I heard so many great things about this school and I absolutely regret sending my child here. The arts department is great but the core classes work these kids too hard. They get piled on with endless homework and then the tests are often not even listed in the agendas. There is poor communication between the teachers and parents. The admin does not address problems properly. IEPs are ignored. Where is this glorious school which I heard so much about?

This school is the worst school. So much bullying from students and teachers. One teacher told my granddaughter that she thinks she’s privileged bc she’s white!! One student told my granddaughter that she bullies her because she’s white!! Why would a teacher tell a student this. Why would the child bully make a statement like that? My granddaughter has more black friends then white friends. I am extremely excited that they’re closing the doors. Wherever those students attend school next year, I feel for the school and I feel for the teachers because they are going to have a battle.

The engagement of staff and leadership...every is so focused on the children's well being. It is impressive...nothing is prefect but they care about each and every teacher and child at that school.

Don't go here, the teachers treat students very unprofessionally~
