Silverbrook Elementary School

Silverbrook is a great school, we have had all 5 children attend and I would contend we could not be happier with their work and performance.

Our family loves Silverbrook. The teachers and the community are very engaged. Academics are great. Lots of after school activities. Great PTO. Fantastic school events (e.g, STEAM Fair, Annual Carnival, Book Fair)

While many teachers at the school are wonderful. The principal has zero communication skills. In fact, she has no business being around small children. At Silverbrook, its her way or the highway. She has zero compassion. The teachers also fear her and her neurotic behavior.

Silverbrook is a terrific school. The teachers are deeply committed and involved, frequently attending after school events and supporting the children. The PTO is wonderful and inviting and very active in the school. Every person that you meet at Silverbrook from the office staff, to the teachers, to the lunch room workers are friendly and inviting. The building is impeccably maintained and always spotless. The SACC before and after care is AMAZING!!!! If we pick my daughter up early, she begs to stay in SACC because of the fantastic activities that they provide. There are wonderful after school clubs (we loved Mad Science!). And the families in this area are so friendly and welcoming. We have met such great people through the school. It is very scholastically focused which is true of all of Fairfax County and the class sizes are large (also true in general for the higher income schools in Fairfax county) but the school manages the class sizes very well. We are so happy that our children attend Silverbrook and look forward to many years there.
