Well when considering the academic standpoint, I feel overall the teachers were not motivated to show students how to learn and indulge in information properly. They lacked the sense of community in classrooms. But overall when it came to sports and pep rally and showing school spirit they were a very communal group and prioritized togetherness.

My experience at Sunnyside high school has been overall good. The best part is I get so be in nice clubs and they really fun to be in. The worst part of the experience here at Sunnyside high school has been with teachers. But for the most part it's been super good

The best experience I've had at this high school are the soccer games, home and away. The people here at he school are fun to talk to and so does the staff, enjoyable experience. The worst experience at the school is how cold the classrooms are. What i would like to see the school could change are the buildings to make it look more modern.

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...
