Research Silver Lake Elementary School public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“My son has been attending Silver Lake Elementary for several years. While there appear to be some great aspects to this school, I've been primarily disappointed with the lack of focus on improving academic performance throughout the years. Silverlake has chronically been one of the lower achieving schools from amongst surrounding schools in the context of standardized tests, with minimal improvement throughout time. There are probably many factors that contribute to this beyond the school administrator's control, but the fact that administration hasn't talked openly about its goals, plans, criteria for success, and targets; and furthermore about shortcomings that need to be overcome, leads me to believe that the school isn't committed a cohesive, well-thought plan that can be communicated to parents with the same goals in mind, nor to self-evaluation in terms of how it serves and educates students and improvement.”

“Dr. Bellamy is an outstanding principal and greets the kids by their first name. They have additional incentives every month for children to aspire to. Most Motivated, Most Improved, etc. I have above average intelligent children who loved this school. It was a family of teachers and administrators.”
