GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

For the most part, the experience was enjoyable. Many of the teachers were nice but some didn't teach or try to connect with the students. There were also a few fights throughout the years, especially in the year when we came back to school from quarantine. I made some really good friends there, though.

Overall my experience with Silver Creek has been as any basic high school movie would be there was the good parts and also the bad parts. I enjoyed all my moments here with my friends and teachers never once had a problem here. My best part of my Silver Creek experience was having my senior night for soccer I felt so loved and appreciated with all the things I have accomplished and how hard I worked to be here. My worst moment would have to be the parents not really being involved in kids academic life I noticed its not only really my parents but others as well and only when my mom would reach out is when the school would communicate with them. I would like to see more change is on the Principal team and really do there job more and also faculty on getting parents involved in there kids academic life really our education is important and I'm so grateful to be the way I am because my mom cared about my academics.

It’s frustrating how often kids fight at this school, and the adults, especially the staff, seem so unhelpful. I experienced a situation where the staff was holding his food in one hand while trying to break up a girl fight with the other—couldn’t he at least hand his food to someone else? The situa...

At a former student at Silver Creek, my teachers and school administrators have prepared me and my friends for much success ahead - both in college admission and career.
