Not only was I able to graduate on time, but the type of instruction helped me to feel motivated. I received individualized support for school and life skills. I have gone on to college to get a BA. Thank you Alta Vista!

Our child has been at Silverwood school for the past 4 years. We love it there. The mix of…read moreacademics, social learning and all the time in the woods learning and playing has been amazing for our kiddo. He loves the teachers, that they spend so much time outside, and all the field trips and learning opportunities they have. We love that every staff person knows each child by name, loves and cares deeply about their growth and success. The school is able to meet each child where they are at, be that academically with advanced math, or socially and emotionally.

I have two kids at Silverwood and honestly couldn't be happier. The school has built such a great…read morecommunity, not just for the students but for the families too. Before our youngest started kindergarten, he had some challenges, and Silverwood was amazing about giving us guidance and support. They helped us figure out what he needed and worked with us so he could be successful. Now both of our kids are thriving there. What I really love is how much the staff truly care about the kids. You can tell they want the best for them, and that makes such a big difference. Ms. H, the principal, is fantastic, and every teacher and staff member we've met has been wonderful. We feel so lucky to be part of Silverwood.

I attended BHS all four years of my high school career and saw countless fights, drugs, SALE OF DRUGS, disrespectful teachers, ambulances in our parking lot, teachers that don't show up, grading policies that vary between teachers. I have countless stories of unjust actions, dangerous ideals that are allowed, and just utter garbage use of a school. The worst teacher I've ever had was Ms. Krisher. She should never have been allowed in a classroom. She told freshman females (15/16 years old) they shouldn't be wearing bras because it's oppressive. She told boys they're never going to do as much for society as the girls. This was a bad high school. GO TO CENTRAL KITSAP, ITS MUCH BETTER.

After attending SK for less than a year, I decided to try the alternative school. Most people think…read morethat alternative schools are for "bad kids." This is not the case. The school was fantastic. Yes there are alot of teen moms that go here, but so what, they would be completely rejected at the regular high schools. The kids that go here are amazing, they have had all kinds of obstacles to jump through in their lives. The student to teacher ratio is so much better than SK. There are about 15 kids per class. The work that is done here is based on what level you are at in a particular subject and then you climb the latter from there, instead of just getting thrown into a class and not knowing what to expect. They still have programs like ASB and yearbook, and they take a trip the Puyallup Fair every year. The best part is you still get a regular high school diploma. Some of the perks are you get an off campus lunch, you only go 2 days a week so it gives students the opportunity to work part time. The teachers are amazing, and the principal and admin staff are so nice. I loved this school.
