Evergreen Elementary School

Tucked into the charming small town of Silverton — known for its proximity to Silver Falls State Park and its tight-knit, arts-friendly community — Evergreen Elementary is quietly one of the strongest elementary schools in all of Oregon, with top-of-the-chart scores in both English and Math. Families who want small-town warmth without sacrificing academic rigor will find a lot to love here, especially those drawn to a community where neighbors still know each other's names and kids grow up with trails, gardens, and a genuine sense of place. It's the kind of school that makes Silverton an easy sell for families who might otherwise overlook a smaller Oregon town.
