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.

Literally nothing bad to say about sunset please go to the school. It is student reviews and lack of funding/wealth dropping our test scores causing white flight. It’s a good school filled with great people fighting a skewed system.
