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.

The town of Silver Lake is very proud of their school, and for good reason. Academics and athletics and other activities are all taken very seriously, and there are always teachers and coaches willing to help with anything that may come up.

Silver Lake is a high excelling school; they push students to strive for excellence not only in academics, but sports as well. The teachers are phenomenal, wanting each student to be successful, in what they choose to do with their career. Each and every teacher, genuinely cares for each student, putting in extra time to help any student struggling with a concept. I would highly recommend sending your student to Silver Lake Jr/Sr High School.

In order for outside guest to get in the school they have to go through the front office and get a visitors pass before entering the school. There are 2-3 video cameras in every hall to make sure nothing bad happens.
