Silverado was a good school, but it was nothing more than that. I think it is enough to get you through high school and is not a bad school by any means. I think it is definitely missing that Wow factor.

I think Silverado is not the best school for kids with special needs, I do like the electives but the curriculum is not the best.

Silverado High School is just like any other high school. It has its ups and downs. The best parts include the great teachers, the administration, the sports programs, clubs, and the environment. The school lacks school spirit and culture. I would like to see the school spirit change and for there to be a culture around Silverado.
