Silver Gate Elementary School

Great school with a great community. Teachers go above and beyond for their students.

Very impressed with everything at Silver Gate. The staff is well trained. Strong leadership.

Silver Gate is a well-run school with parents who are involved without being overbearing. The teachers are first-rate and most have been there for a long time. Principal Vidal-Fowler has come into her own over the past three years as a leader after taking over from a very long time principal. She is engaged and energetic and can often be found walking around the campus talking with parents and students. Enrichment activities are excellent including the labs and gardens. Overall, couldn't be happier with where my third grader is in his schooling.

The teachers are engaged, the students are engaged, the parents are involved in the progress of the entire student population. Fundraising provides programs like Eco-lab, Art classes, PE, and Music that were cut from the SD Unified curriculum. Volunteers provide experiences like Garden Clubs, Running Club and after school activities. The staff, from the principal to the maintenance staff, are approachable, caring and friendly.
