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 at Sunnyside High School was great. They offered a fair range of clubs and classes. But what really ellevated my experience at SHS was the class speekers that would be brought in from the community. Administrators at SHS made sure to bring in representatives form all walks of life to show students all the different options that they have after high school.

My overall experience at SunnySide High School has been enjoyable. I have always appreciated the safety I have felt here. I am a part of my school's Mariachi band, and it was beautiful how the school supports their student's talents. We are always encouraged to do and be better than the day before. Something I would like to see change at SunnySide High School is the place itself. The school could use some repairs in some buildings, to make them feel more comfortable.

Sunnyside created an inclusive community, in the morning you could hear the mariachi band playing, which was my favorite thing. There are a good amount of electives that fit anyone's hobbies.

Don't get me wrong, Sunnyside is an alright school. We have good programs and stuff and sports, especially. But to be honest, this school is so boring, and there is always someone smoking in a bathroom somewhere. There is not much to do for fun anymore; the school is very bland with just brick walls...

Whelp I've been at Sunnyside for 3 years (I'm a junior on to senior) and THIS SCHOOL HAS LOST IT'S PRIDE! Instead of having fun at prep rallys and other gathered events more people decide to complain and sit on the bleachers then actually participate in anything! This year's vote for senior position...
