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.

Silver Bluff high school is a great school. There are a lot of new things that are going on this year that haven't been going last year so that's gonna take some adjustment to get to overall academic wise. I feel like it's a great school. We have a lot of great students that are very smart as well

Silver Bluff is a good school. Very small, so you can really have a great shot at your very best years of study as a high school student. The students who struggle and those that don't is really divided into halves.

Well at silver bluff things are kind of strict but it is for our safety although no one is crazy enough to do anything. Most of the time students get along and their are those teachers and staff that you can build bonds with pretty easily and who actually care that you pass.

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!
