In the heart of the Evergreen Valley, Silver Oak Elementary School is nestled at the foothills of the Mt. Hamilton range in the rich community of Silver Creek Valley. Silver Oak Elementary School is an award-winning institution in the nationally ranked Evergreen School District. Almost three decades after its inception, it continues to serve the Silver Creek Valley community and educate the future.
Silver Oak Elementary School takes a combined approach at teaching its students. The school incorporates volunteers, active parent groups and technology among other tools to educate the whole child. Their philosophy is that outside of academics, the students must be capable of empathy, be creative and develop important cognitive capabilities in order to grow into a well-rounded individual equipped with the tools to take on college, their career and life.
This approach works, as test scores at Silver Creek Elementary are far above the national and state average.
