Silsbee High School is a great school.Only, if you take advanced classes, you're in the wonderful band,performing art, and outstanding athletic programs. The teachers are remarkable! They teach you so many things and amaze you everyday!

SISD has been a big disappointment since my children have been attending high school. SISD advertises that the children are first, this is not what I have been seeing. Once the children pass through the doors at SHS they are no longer allowed to have an opinion, and if there is an issue with your child and a teacher you need to know that the teacher is always right - no matter what. Some of the teachers are good and many are not. Many of the teachers are not willing to assist students when they are having problems in a class. There is a LOT of yelling - students being talked down to - discrimination - and special treatment of certain students. The principal, and assistant, need to have control of the school, not the deputy on duty. SHS and the school board need a complete overhaul.

As a Silsbee High School Alumni, I can proudly say that although EVERY school district has faults, Silsbee is still one of the best for being 3A. Yes, dress code and discipline is implemented stronger than most. However, the environment that Silsbee ISD creates for the students is one in which learning comes before fashion and succeeding comes before anything else. When in school, I participated in Band, Choir, Drill Team, Drama, Student Council, Spanish Club, Key Club, and numerous other extra curricular activities that have taught me valuable skills that I still use in every day life. Most high schoolers, esp. those in 5A (larger schools) do not get a chance to participate in so many activities due to time conflicts and hectic scheduling. Students are going to get out of High School what they chose. No school district is perfect and no opinion alike... but my experience was wonderful!

This school is a joke. Academically, students are not challenged. Most teachers seem to fear giving a student a failing grade. Others are apathetic and just putting in time until retirement. If you are not an athlete, there are no opportunities. Parental involvement anywhere in this district is not welcomed or appreciated.
