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.

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.

My overall experiences in Silver High School have been a mix of good and bad. I have had very good luck and experiences with sports and coaches, but bad experiences with my education. I feel that there are too many restraints, especially as a senior about to transfer into college. I would like to see more resources committed to preparing high school kids for college.
