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.

Attending Sunny high school has brought me so many opportunities and amazing memories that I will hold on for forever. However, there are some qualities about the school that I would hope to see change in the future. sunnyslope high school is proud sports high school. But I would like there to be more recognition in the arts programs at Sunnyslope high school to give others who enjoy the arts and amazing craft a chance to show off their amazing talents as well as they do with the sports at high school. I am a part of the dance program and the theater program at Sunnyside high school and I love it. It's amazing so I hope that in the next year or so that the arts programs such as photography, theater, dance, art, 3-D design, etc. get more recognition that they do deserve to become a better school that showcases all of the schools, talents and passions.

There are very few teachers here that actually care abou...

This school is academically better than most public high schools in AZ. It has good sports and performing arts programs. The front office staff need to take some courses on politeness and tolerance. Often they are very rude to students and parents. The worst thing about this school is the variance e...

Teachers are the reason people line up to get in to this school from out of district. They are fabulous, highly educated and committed to their students. They are also overworked by the number of students admitted from out of district every year. There are more students than desks which results in k...
