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.

The school is not terrible but definitely not good. There have been multiple incidents of the teachers being horrible and nothing being done about it. The food is not very good at all and the facilities are not very clean. The staff aren't terrible but there are definitely bad apples. It is a very welcoming community in the sports field as it is a huge part of our community.

I am a sophomore at this school and I am overall not pleased with it. There is no challenge in this school at all, and to me it seems like they are more concerned with their public appearance and sports than their students. I have been enrolled in Silsbee schools all my life and when I got into SHS...
