The school's SchoolDigger rating has also declined, from a high of 4 stars out of 5 in 2015-2016 to just 1 star out of 5 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 25.6% in 2023-2024 to 39.3% in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Silver Stage Middle School and Fernley Intermediate School, both also part of the Lyon School District, Silverland Middle School's performance is generally lower.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, reaching 100% in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to these challenges.
