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.

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.

My overall experience with my high school has been good, though easily could've been better. They taught me and prepared me for college, giving me a lot of options to take dual enrollment classes. They had a abundance of clubs that were well run and promoted participation in class., Though they had almost no parent involvement in the school. I would rate the school, a solid, 4.5 out of five stars, as they are excellent in most ways.

My experience at Silverado was overall very good and I never faced any issues with the school itself. Being a public school does come with some downsides since students tend to act out from time to time. But the teachers and faculty are nice and treat the students and the school with respect. The classes they offer outside of core classes are challenging and interesting. The activities also are well run and interactive with the students. For four years I participated in JROTC and Marching Band so it not only gave me opportunities to make friends but also built my experience and skills for resumes and college admissions.
