Henry M. Jackson High 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.

We are having good experience with both of our kids so far.Infrastructure is good.There is an improvement needed for teachers to encourage every student to participate in extra curricular activities.Most of the times students/parents are not aware of any extra school activities or sports which takes place.

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!

Our kindergarten teacher was amazing and now so is 1st grade! The staff have been great supports for my son and worked well with him on controlling his impulses and behavior. My only complaint is that there are very few and small consequences for students when they misbehave. My son has had a few big problems but the school consequences for his behavior has been minimal or none at all. (Of course we had consequences at home!) It sometimes feels like the needs of a few outweigh the needs and rights of the majority at this school in terms of problematic behavior and needs.

My son was called a liar and a cheater. There's a reason why this school cannot hire good teachers.
