The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There is no diversity at Sunny Hills High School. You will only be surrounded by Korean-Americans or Korean international students.

I would recommend this school to incoming high schoolers because it is a very enjoyable school environment. The academics are rigorous and do a good job of preparing you for college, with plenty of college resources. The student life is also good with lots of activities, clubs, and events. There is also a very diverse and positive student environment.
