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!

My school is outstanding. The staff really go above and beyond their passion and it reflects in your children's work. I wish My children did not have to advance to middle school. Love this neighborhood school!
