Silvermine Elementary School in Greenwich, Connecticut

“I've been an employee of Silvermine Elementary for almost 2 years and I just love working there. I get up every morning looking forward to start my day at work. Since day one my colleagues have been very nice and easy going. The best decision I ever made was to work at Silvermine.”

“The school is a great place to be. The teachers and the administration work hard to improve student's scores and expose them to the arts and other extracurricular activities. some people think that this school is just a bilingual school, but it has at least a dual language as well as a mainstream classroom in every grade.”

“Awesome school! The 4th grade teachers are incredible. They are accomodating, outgoing and very involved. They go 110% and are providing progressive activities to keep the kids engaged. One teacher in particular can be seen playing sports with her kids during recess to build cooperation and self-esteem! Incredible stuff that you dont usually see.”

“My child has attended silveriness for four years,not by my choice,theres a hand full of great teachers there,as far as an open door policy forget it! The principle will stand up for her teachers right or wrong,without looking at the situation.And it was the principle who would not let me into a classroom without having to call the teacher to check it out if all was clear.This school rates with Bridgeport lowest and we pay a lot in taxes.Very Disappointed Parent!”

“I think that the teachers in this school are wonderful, creative, and very giving of their time. My second grader has had a wonderful experience thus far. And to add, my child has always been able to count by 2's, 5's, and 10's because of the so called 'macarena MATH' song that she learned in kindergarten, which was a fun educational take on the original version.”

“This school is a little to liberal for me, I do not think teaching kindergarteners the 'Macarena' is appropriate.”

“My daughter went to Silvermine for just over 1 year. Her 1st grade teacher was wonderful. Very involved in her students' education. The auxillary staff (e.g., gym, music, art, assistants) were great. The front office staff was distant and rude and left much to be desired.”
