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.

I've loved it here at Silver Creek! It's a very welcoming school and the academics are very good. I've also enjoyed the people here.

High school looked a little different for me since I was unable to experience my freshman year due to COVID-19. However, for the most part the school has been good. Some of the best parts are how the teachers connect with you. I think the worst part of this school is the social aspect. Not everyone is kind to each other, which can cause school to feel long and hard to go to. Overall, the school has good academics, decent sports, and an okay social aspect.
