I think this school is a great school to go to. You get good academics, in my opinion, and you get as ready as you can for college. They have meetings constantly about financial aid, scholarships, college, and much more. One thing I would like them to change is the way some of the teachers teach. I think much of the older teachers do not know what kids these days like and can not really relate with them.

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.

Sunrise Mountain High School is a great school for students, it had so much spirit and involvement in the whole student body. I think it's a great high school to go to and will lead to success latter on in life. There isn't much diversity, but there are other good qualities.

The administration at Sunrise is extremly rude to me and my child.

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