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.

Sundown is doing an amazing job on preparing me for college and the real world. I have all the help that i've ever needed to help me excel in my grades and school work. I have multiple resources whenever I need them to do homework. The teachers go over and beyond for me, so that I will be prepared. I'm glad that I attend Sundown High School, without the school I don't know if would be as prepared for college.

The workload may be hard but the teacher and the staff try so hard to give us a good education. They go far and beyond to encourage and help us but they do not go easy on us. They're available at anytime to help you.
