GreatSchools Rating
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.

Sunset hill is NOT special needs friendly!! They don’t allow you to be present if your child needs evaluated. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this school if your child has special needs!! Stay out of Lawrence school district period!
