Seattle Hill Elementary School

Silver Lake Elementary has been a fantastic fit for our family. From the moment we enrolled, we've been impressed by the warmth and dedication of the staff. The teachers are passionate about their work and genuinely care about the students' success.The school offers a variety of enriching programs, including STEM, arts, music, and physical education, providing a well-rounded education. Additionally, the upcoming Dual Language Spanish Immersion Program is an exciting opportunity for students to become bilingual by 5th grade, enhancing their cognitive and cultural skills.The PTA is incredibly active, organizing events like the Fall Festival, Silent Auction, and Teacher Appreciation Week, which foster a strong sense of community and support for the school. Their efforts make a significant difference in the school experience.Overall, Silver Lake Elementary is a nurturing environment where students are encouraged to grow academically and socially. We feel fortunate to be part of this wonderful school community.

I don't think the mental and emotional well being of students is a priority at SFE. Group punishment is often used during recess. Lunch time isn't enough for kids to sit and finish their meal. The district and school administration pushed against parent requests and OSPI recommendations to extend lunch.

In the 4 years my kid was at this school, she was having a bless. Even now she is at middle school and going to high school next year, she would still remember her teachers from Cedar wood and talks about them all the time. Every year she had an amazing teacher and especially at grade 3, I don't want to name name, but her grade 3 teacher was my kid's all time favor. All those teachers know their stuff and are very patient. We are very happy that we have lived in that neighborhood, with all those amazing teachers!

I will never recommend this school compare with other schools in Everett school district. One of 5th grade teacher join from other school where she was principal and disappeared from that school without any notice or explanation to parents. She is trying to run this school with racism between some favorite students and other students. She doesn’t come from empathy background and always try to find mistakes from other kids.
