Summary

Silverwood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 530 students in Concord, CA, as part of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, and it stands out for achieving solid academic results while effectively supporting a diverse student community.

Academically, Silverwood consistently outperforms both district and state averages, especially in math and science. This is notable because the school serves a significant number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and it achieves these results more effectively than several neighboring schools with similar demographics, such as Wren Avenue Elementary and Westwood Elementary. The school also excels in keeping students engaged, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% that is much better than the district and state averages and significantly lower than many area schools. Furthermore, Silverwood shows particular strength in supporting its special education students, ranking in the top third of schools statewide for that subgroup.

While Silverwood is strong overall, performance can vary for students in different grades and groups. Third grade is a particular highlight, but scores tend to dip in the upper grades, especially in 5th-grade math. The school has shown impressive resilience, bouncing back strongly from pandemic-related challenges and maintaining its academic standards even as the number of students needing economic assistance has grown substantially. Compared to a very high-performing neighbor like Mt. Diablo Elementary, Silverwood’s ability to deliver good outcomes with its student population and resources is a key strength.
