You don’t get to pick the public school you get assigned, and when you buy a house before kids, and for us, it was just not on the radar. We feel so fortunate this is our neighborhood school. I am so curious about the negative reviews, as I’ve always felt supported and encouraged to volunteer and pa
Posted by a parent on 2/27/2025Teachers that care, a great new playground, lots of energy put into after school extracurricular activities, and a growing sense of community in this small neighborhood school. We are lucky!
Posted by a parent on 2/14/2024The new(er) principal cannot even be bothered to read emails (responses show she obviously didn't take the time to read emails). Pick-up process for walkers is a mess and not designed for the safety of the children. The school forced young students to switch schools due to boundary changes (after be
Posted by a parent on 8/23/2022This is the 2nd year that my two kids have attended Silver Beach. They love their teachers and are happy to go to school! Every day when I ask them how their day at school was, they say, "Great!" I think that is the true test. My 4th grader still loves school. Both of my kids are strong students, id
Posted by a parent on 3/15/2017I have had a child at this school for 10+ years. In the last few years, the quality of this school has gone down. I think a lot of that has to do with the leadership of the school. Since the current principal took over, the mood around school has always been a little negative. You see it in the

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our fourth year at ACS, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. As a single mom of two boys (5 and 9), I’ve been grateful for the strong education and formation they’ve received each year. The teachers are kind, supportive, and consistently communicative, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. My boys have a great balance of academics, play, and physical activity, and the school schedule (8–3, with extended care available until 6pm) works really well with my job. As a Catholic family, it’s been especially meaningful to see how much they’ve grown in their faith through opportunities like adoration, reconciliation, and daily prayer. Even the volunteer hour requirement has turned out to be a gift; it’s helped me build genuine relationships with other families, teachers, and staff in a way that has made the community feel truly welcoming and connected.Parent Review1mo ago
