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 Creek is a very welcoming school. The teachers I feel are very supportive and the school community is very diverse, strengthening cultural relationships. This school is NPFH (No Place for Hate, ADL program), IB (International Baccalaureate), among many other county and state certifications. Overall, this school is welcoming, warm, and just a great school in Montgomery County.
