The school was filled with diversity between its students and knowledge. But there are problems with how clean the school is and certain people bringing students motivation down.

What I like about Sun Valley Magnet School is that, the community it has I know a lot of my teachers really well and they know me really well too. They always motivate me about college and encourage me to go as well. The change I wish for my school is that the students there would get along with each other and see that college is for everyone. I wish the environment would be a bit better where the students respect each other as well as the teachers.

Sun Valley Magnet School introduces you to STEM at an early age. They help you explore different opportunities of an education you might want in your future. There is a lot of 1 on 1 time with your teachers and school staff.

this school needs to improove with the teachers and principal on open houses becouse the waiting time in between classes is to long and when it your turn the teachers sound like a tape recorder they tell the parents the same thing as the person before you.
