My child just finished 6th grade at FIS and if Silverland is anything like it we will be looking at private school for 7th grade. One of the teachers was fantastic. The other one had great curriculum but no grasp of child development (the amount of work she required would be challenging for a college student) and no classroom management skills. She also frequently went into hysterical screaming fits and threatened to fail them all as she wept. The only thing she taught them was how to survive feeling utterly defeated all the time. Mid year I was so concerned that I called and asked to speak with the principal who just blew off my concerns and kept repeating what a great teacher she is (uh no she’s a nightmare). He told me to set up a meeting with her. I requested one and she blew me off. The teachers were always really late for parent teacher conferences and showed no respect for my time. They were very disorganized in general. Very poor school, send your kids elsewhere if you can.

Fernley Intermediate School is a fantastic school with a positive atmosphere. They have an open campus and are always finding ways to involve parents. The principal is very visible and the teachers are willing to work to help students be successful.

My son has attended FIS for almost 2 years now, and has been struggling with bullying. The school is doing little to nothing to stop it. He is targeted everyday. I believe the teachers interact fairly with the students but the administration needs to do something about the bullying and violence at this school.
