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.

Throughout high school I had difficulties with myself and other students. I would not consider it heavy bullying but some comments were made about my body image. As soon as a teacher had heard those words , immediate attention would be brought to the situation and my counselor was lovely to me and helped me know my worth . Upcoming the end of my senior year of high school , I still had no clue what I was wanting to do for my future or what college I would be attending. I feel like the school could put a little bit more effort into guiding the students onto the right path as I pretty much taught myself how to apply for colleges, scholarships and FASFA.

Over Silver Creek has been a good school. People are nice and the facility is being renovated. The teaching staff cares about the students, and there are adequate resources for help.

This school's diversity grows everyday, and it has made me into the person I am today. I of course have my complaints about the way this school handles its diversity and its programs, but I can't help but feel attached to it. The teachers at this school are passionate about their work and many of them have inspired me.

The high school is a good, solid school with some very good teachers, ie,the 9th grade Bio teacher and Venture teacher. They really seem to have the children's success in mind with the teaching practices they have in place. The only problem is the teachers aren't held accountable for updating the pa...
