The overall experience of this school is ok. Some of the best experiences is being able to thrive in NJROTC and get assistance when I need it. Some of the worst experiences is the overall comradery with the students. This school has helped me become career ready and helped me learn my goals. There are many opportunities such as Athletics, Fine Arts(besides chorus), Honor societies, and clubs.

I believe changes in our athletic support from our administration and school members should take place. Silver Bluff athletics has a very big impact on our small town and i would like to see an equal amount of support given to each sport would be very beneficial to our students and staff.

Silver Bluff is a great school with low class size and teachers that care about their students. My kids have gained confidence in their studies. Silver Bluff prepared my son to enter and succeed in college.

Silver Bluff has a small student population, which makes for an environment conducive to learning. The school offers a well rounded experience for academics and athletics. Silver Bluff is Aiken County's best kept secret!
