Sunnyside high school has done a complete 180 degree turn from what it was 20yrs ago. The high school is probably the best high school to send your child in the lower Valley. Great teachers, staff, and administrators.

This school deserves it's Great School's rating of 2. The quality of education is low. Teachers seem to have given up on these kids. The one exception was my son's L.A. teacher, who really seemed to care and to know how to reach the kids. But mostly, my son's experience here was negative. Behavior problems are very common. This school scares me. There is lots of gang activity and there have been threats to the safety of the kids attending. I removed my son due to these concerns, and when he tried an online public school, found that he was not prepared for the rigor of the academics. We will be moving to an area with better schools.

I have been impressed by the quality of reading instruction in this school. The remedial program for kids with learning disabilities is also very effective. The math curriculum is very challenging, but the teaching quality is not there in many cases, so many kids are frustrated by the difficulty of the curriculum. Unfortunately, teachers here are forced to teach to standardized tests, which greatly diminishes their ability to provide instruction in areas other than reading and math. I would love to see more emphasis on science and social studies. Student behavior problems are very prevalent, and a real concern to those of us who desire a wholesome learning environment for our kids.

This is my sons school my first out of three to attend and i absolutely love this school great teachers staff (with one exception) very friendly willing to go beyond to help I am so pleased that my second child will be starting school with them for the 2015-16 school year
