This school provides a great experience and teaches the students how to challenge themselves. If I had not gone to Silva, I would be like all the friends I left behind: slackers.
This high school is the best place for any young adult who truly wants to make a difference and prepare for college. There is no other experience like Silva and it is hard to believe that such quality education can be offered in a public school. I know that Silva is at the top places academically in the nation and there is evident proof of this. I am a former student, and I have to admit that the reason why I am achieving at college (I made Dean's List my first semester in college) is because Silva prepared me so well. You get to see, create, and experience things no other school offers. Plus the vast majority of student in this school truly care about achieving so you will find people who are just like you. Like I often tell people, at Silva, you are not judged by your looks or how you dress. No, at Silva you are mostly valued by what you have to bring to the table, by how you perform, by your ideas. In this sense, Silva is VERY competitive, but trust me, it prepares you for the "real" world. Plus, you get to meet people of different background since so many people from around the city attend. I highly recommend this school.
I do have to say I had my son in private school in middle school, when he told me he wanted to go to Sylva I was hesitant but now that he is about to be a junior I love the school as to how it challenges him,plus he is able to play sports at higher level than private schools. He is getting the best of both worlds here.
Misinformation in one review - this is not an IB school. Coronado is the only IB school in the EPISD.
Very good school. Very competitive. You don't have to be interested in Health Science to go to the school it will prepare you better for college. But a warning is if you want to be happy don't come here even if your a quiet kid your going to get lots of drama.
I love it! I am currently attending Silva. It's the best high school experience any teen can have. Everyone is so nice and kind. They actually care for you here. I couldn't ask for anything better!
Of all the area magnet schools Silva excels in ways no others can compare. Not only in academics and the fine arts, the students and staff make the school the unique place it is one that has allowed me as a student to prosper instead of being hindered as could have been the case elsewhere.
I love it, its a unique high school experience . Everyone is so friendly, there's no stupid high school drama, everyone knows each other its like a little community, I just love it!
I am a former student of Silva Magnet and I believe that the school is a wonderful school. It just needs a better administration. There are several wonderful and great teachers, and unfortunately, due to the downsizing, many of these teachers were lost. As parents, please take into consideration of what the students say, because they are the ones who are dealing with everything everyday. But I still stand and say that Silva is a great school. Its because of it that I'm am excelling pretty well at Texas A&M University.
