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.

My experience during high school was different than what my younger self would've expected. I didn't make friends very easily, and I found it difficult to join any clubs since I had no hobbies.

While attending Sunrise Mountain Highschool I have had ups and downs. I met 2 of my best friends here through classes on campus. The teachers and staff are all super friendly and helpful when it comes to schoolwork and overall advice. I wish our school spirit was heightened. During spirit week its sad to see only a select few of students dress up and participate. I think bringing more school spirit an participation to our school would bring students together to create a better environment for everyone.

Overall, my experience at Sunrise Mountain High School was fairly average. There were definitely issues with favoritism in the music department, which was frustrating. Moreover, admin did not stick up for students.

They treat my kid like an outcast due to their race. Please...

I love this school. The administration is wonderful. They care for students, and they trust their teachers. The teachers truly care for their students and want to see them all succeed.
