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.

Silsbee High School is not a bad school but it has its times. They are super strict on stuff that doesnt really matter and more lenient on things that should matter. Some of the teachers are great but others expect you to be perfect all of the time and will yell at everyone for the smallest things. I would really like it if the staff were nicer and more respectful and better with getting their grades in.

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.

The worst part to me about Silsbee High School is that we have 8 classes in one day I think that needs to be shortened to 4 a day, because it's hard having 8 big assignments do in a day or even multiple tests but with 4 classes a day gives all of us there a better opportunity to learn and it makes it easier to remember things. The best part about Silsbee High School is when I get to baseball it's my favorite time of day no matter what we are doing; the baseball coaches are great and the team also gets along great.

Silsbee High School is like too many other public schools, cares nothing about the individual, and puts the institution's needs above the students. Parent involvement is shunned, and obviously...

I left SHS to be homeschooled. The teachers and many of the people there have grown up together, and they know each others family. Many students are favored over others. Teachers treat you diffrently because of who your family is. I had a class in where one of the teachers would let some of the kids...

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...
