Staff and teachers are the best! Children are well prepared for middle school. We love our Silveroak elementary school.

I was at this school for about 2 years, and the teachers aren't considerate with the students other after school activities. I had tons of homework, but had to come home at 7:30pm and 9:30 daily. Of course, I had missing assignments but the teachers didn't think about that. They just kept getting mad at us for being lazy. During class the class was fine, but it was obvious who the favorite student was (looking at you, Rachel). Another problem with this school is at the beginning of the school, there was this new student and the came from the Philippines, and barely knew any English. All the teacher had her do was sit in the back and try her best.

Great experience from 2015-18 & continuing. Strong teachers & great steam lab, art programs, school plays, extra curricular options, Math kangaroo & other Math competitive exam help etc, Principal very active and hands on and a very active PTO which actively supports and funds many activities. Teachers use good online programs to support Homework as well to give students extra practice.

We have been in the for the last 5 yrs...still kids attending.. Mostly, we have good experience. Some teachers do not do their jobs well when it comes to a child w/ special needs. So, if you have one, depending on services your child might need. Think twice before you enroll. Other than that, lots of after school curriculum, which is awesone. Good luck!!

Sadly, we had high hopes for this school. The academic standards are high, however I cannot say the same for the faculty. Many of the teachers are inconsiderate, brash and uncaring to say the least. When we left messages with our concerns for the principal to return our call to discuss our personal experiences in detail, we never got a return call or email. It amazes me that being polite and professional is simply not a consideration from the top down. Very disturbing and concerning for many of us parents.

The school offers wonderful learning opportunities for students of all abilities and interests. The school is diverse, has great teachers and an awesome parent community. As a parent volunteer, I must also recognize our Principal (Ms Gellman) for her personal efforts in bringing many outside learning opportunities to the school.

This school is wonderful! My children are coming home everyday with smiles on their faces saying what they learned that very day! Best service ever!
