If your child neeeds emotional support, there are none at this school. Too many kids and not enough staff. Not willing to work with student at all and that causes more trauma. (Example: not willing to work with social anxiety situation with online class)If your child plays sports, avoid this school. Almost all teams are bad except for girls basketball. Not very organized well so that causes coaches to do whatever they want. Not professional at all. (Some coaches got it well done but most don’t. I have 3 kids play 5 different sports at this school and suffered greatly)If you need to talk with academic advisor, it takes weeks to get in due to too many student. By the time you get in, the deadline has passed and student is stuck with undesired classes. LGBTQ community is well set at this school. They support well on that. School bullying gets ignored unless you have a bulletproof evidence. Like I said, too many students. AP classes are available. Some great teachers with passion and some none at all. Due to too many kids, they don’t care. If a student make an effort, it’s easy to get A’s. Overall, I strongly suggest you avoid this school and go to near by great schools like Bingham high school. Mountain ridge high school. It’s worth an extra driving. Especially if student plays sports. Must avoid copper hills!

The environment at this school is safe and nurturing. The staff really do care about the students and the community and go to great lengths to continue to further thier own education and abilities to reach all gaps in student acheivement.

I have had three children come through Sunset Ridge. I also work there part-time so I feel I get to see a little bit more of the inner workings of the school. There are many wonderful, compassionate, and dedicated administrators, staff, and teachers. The biggest challenges I see are due to students coming from homes without parental support and guidance. This leads to behavioral difficulties which interferes with other students’ learning and teachers’ time. It is frustrating to watch some of these to appear unresolved and continuing because I feel the administrators feel their hands are tied by the district and unhelpful parents. But, on the whole, the students are great and families involved and encouraging. I was glad to see the district come out this year with some clearer expectations with relation to dress code and illegal substances. I hope to see these thing enforced because a middle school student wearing a shirt with marijuana leaves, sexualized images and overtly revealing clothing (boys and girls) has no place in school.
