I have two kids that Wanted to go to Sunset! They graduated and did a fantastic job at sunset! The long school days at other high schools was just not them, and they worked! Good and Bad is everywhere! Communication with your teen is a Must! The teachers were fabulous! I knew a lot of kids and their parents when attending sunset. And every one flourished at sunset!! Love this school!!
