Mission Statement: S.O.A.R.ing to Excellence in all we do.
Silver Creek Elementary opened its doors for the first time in August 2006. When the school opened, we set a goal of achieving excellence, both in and out of the classroom. Our school motto is "SOARing to Excellence" and our school mascot is Einstein the Eagle. We currently educate over 600 students annually.
100% of the teachers at Silver Creek are Highly Qualified Teachers, per the No Child Left Behind legislation and 88% of the teachers at Silver Creek have a masters degree or more than one degree in education. The faculty at Silver Creek is committed to providing a high quality, rigorous, meaningful, and exciting education to all students.
We celebrate and recognize students for academic achievement and growth, positive behavior and improvement, effort, and positive character traits and SOARING behavior. Silver Creek Elementary consistently scores at achievement levels higher than the district and state average on PARCC/CMAS Reading, Writing, Math and Science. The percentage of Silver Creek students scoring proficient or advanced on PARCC/CMAS Reading, Writing, Math, and Science increases or remains steady every year.
In the fall of 2016, Silver Creek was Accredited with Distinction (from Colorado Department of Education) for our Academic Excellence. This award was followed up in the spring of 2017, Silver Creek earned the Governor's Distinguished Improvement Award (from Colorado Department of Education) for our Academic Growth on both CMAS and PARCC. Both of these are the results of our students, staff, community and all stakeholders working extremely well together and fostering a caring and learning environment.

This was our 3rd year in a row that the students and staff earned the Governor's Award. This award was followed up with the John Irwin School of Excellence Award for showing exceptional academic achievement over time. Earning both of these awards are products of students, staff and community focusing on the achievement of all students.
