The environment at Silverado is nice, but there should be more active involvement in helping students to apply and be ready to apply for colleges. There was minimal help or understanding from teachers around application season. In addition, there were very few scholarships from the school or much guidance on the matter.

In my 4 year experience at Silverado High School I would say it was just okay overall. Throughout my experience at this school I would say many teachers truly did care for the education of their students while on the other hand many teachers were simply just there, teaching out of a book which would result in low test scores from all the students.

Silverado is overall a great school, there are an infinite amount of resources that the students could use to their own help. Academic help, emotional support, and supplies are all provided through people, tutors, and personal necessity areas . The downsides of Silverado is how the school itself and staff do not attempt to raise their standards and spend the money they receive wisely.
