I can not tell you how impressed I am with this school. When we first moved into the Silvermine neighborhood I was warned by parents that the school was not up to par and I should consider a private school. Being the people my husband and I are we needed to see for ourselves and sent our son to Kindergarten. We love it, HE LOVES IT!!! He is in the Mano a Mano program and amazes us everyday with his Spanish. Also, he can read all by himself in both languages. Everyone we know is impressed with what he has learned in 1 year. The teachers are caring and responded very quickly to any concern we have had. We will stay!

I think Silvermine is a great school to send your kids to. The CMT scores are improving over the last few years. The treachers are dedicated toward bringing and making school standards one of the best one in the district.

I've been an employee of Silvermine Elementary for almost 2 years and I just love working there. I get up every morning looking forward to start my day at work. Since day one my colleagues have been very nice and easy going. The best decision I ever made was to work at Silvermine.

The school is a great place to be. The teachers and the administration work hard to improve student's scores and expose them to the arts and other extracurricular activities. some people think that this school is just a bilingual school, but it has at least a dual language as well as a mainstream classroom in every grade.

CMT scores have gone up and the school has a positive atmosphere now. My son loves his teachers and is continuing to learn spanish. The new principal and asistant principal are great and full of knowledge.

Was a good school , but has degraded over last year. Number of students in the class is over 20. Special Ed. suffers a lot. lets hope new principal can turn things around

Awesome school! The 4th grade teachers are incredible. They are accomodating, outgoing and very involved. They go 110% and are providing progressive activities to keep the kids engaged. One teacher in particular can be seen playing sports with her kids during recess to build cooperation and self-esteem! Incredible stuff that you dont usually see.

My child has attended silveriness for four years,not by my choice,theres a hand full of great teachers there,as far as an open door policy forget it! The principle will stand up for her teachers right or wrong,without looking at the situation.And it was the principle who would not let me into a classroom without having to call the teacher to check it out if all was clear.This school rates with Bridgeport lowest and we pay a lot in taxes.Very Disappointed Parent!

I think that the teachers in this school are wonderful, creative, and very giving of their time. My second grader has had a wonderful experience thus far. And to add, my child has always been able to count by 2's, 5's, and 10's because of the so called 'macarena MATH' song that she learned in kindergarten, which was a fun educational take on the original version.
