We (parents and student) LOVE Deer Valley High School. So far, our child has had an outstanding experience at this school; the teachers are fantastic, the administration ensures a safe, positive and supportive learning environment, and even during this unprecedented and challenging times, everyone is doing their best to help the students, keep them motivated, and ensure they are catching up from anything they may have missed in late Spring due to the pandemic. Our child (who is shy and had a so-so middle school experience in her previous school) is bloosoming her, making tons of friends, taking advantage of the fantastic dual-enrollment course opportunities, and having a great HS experience overall.

My son was struggling with his mental health after his experience with home learning. I knew that Sunrise Elementary had a focus on the social emotional wellbeing of its students as a top priority over test scores, and that they have a full time counselor on campus to support that wellbeing. This was extremely important to me, because I know that the anxiety caused by major learning gaps can just cause test scores to plummet even more as students feel like they are less than capable. The support my son has received at this school, both from his teachers and from peers has been OVERWHELMINGLY positive. He was afraid to transfer schools, but the administrators already knew him by name and said hi to him his first day! His teacher encourages him even when he thinks he can't do it, and celebrates him when he reaches his goals, or even shows significant growth. His peers will actively support him when he is feeling down, and they encourage kindness with each other at all times. My son has found a family at Sunrise, not just a place to learn and grow. He feels comfortable and challenged, encouraged, and is growing so well there. I appreciate everything the Sunrise staff and admin do to make this a place where student learning is facilitated through social emotional support.

Ya sure whatever it's fine, like cool and all
