Sun Valley High School

I am a former staff member at Sun Valley High School, and I feel it necesary I express my honest opinions on this school. Sun Valley provides a safe, nurturing and condusive learning environment for the students. They provide a second chance for many studen'ts because not only the teachers but also the staff firmly believe in the success of the individual. They continue to change their programs to assist the students future marketability. I believe the principal is one of the greatest leaders and a wonderful mentor for many students. I would reccommend this school to student's looking for quality education and teachers.

Sun Valley is a great school. Excellent teachers and staff. Always very helpful with whatever you need. Everyone is extremely friendly. Great curriculum and programs to join.

The staff & teachers at Sun Valley are great. Teachers give 100% effort in trying to get to know the students personally and they really care. I wish I knew about Sun Valley when I first moved from California. I am proud to graduate from SVHS & I would recommend this school to anyone especially those who are behind in their credits.

Sun Valley has been the best high school I have been to. They give people a chance when other schools turn them away. I have never been so excited to to to school and learn until I came to Sun Valley. The staff and teachers are super nice and very helpful. Sun Valley has inspired me to do better in every aspect of my life. I am grateful to have had the chance to come here. I've learned skills that other schools couldn't provide. Sun Valley is not just a school to me but a family.

I would caution anyone who is thinking about enrolling their student in this school. The web site made it seem like such a safe caring environment, when in fact it is not. Academic standards are extremely low and teachers seem to have little or no control. Sudents are basicially allowed to cuss, threaten, and disrupt as they wish.

I've always hated school. When I was a Sophomore in HS I told my parents that I needed to graduate ASAP or I might not make it through HS. We found Sun Valley and I am so glad that we did. I graduated my Junior year in the top 10% of my class and received a Scholarship. The teachers there are awesome - they actually CARE about each and every student... I've never experienced that any where else. If your child hates school, they may love Sun Valley. They care about helping you succeed and change any negative in your life. I would strongly recommend this school to anyone that was falling behind or was thinking about dropping out...get a real diploma at a great school!

This is a great school. My son lost interest in school until we found Sun Valley. Teachers are awsome and the principal is the best. Give your kids the gift of knowledge.

Sun Valley is a great school, perfect for exchange students as you concentrate on a subject for a longer period of time. The teachers are helpful and the student body is diverse. I see no reason why this school has a lower scored than Highland, other than a lack of sport programs. I am impressed with the faculty and the flexibility of schedule.

Teachers are of the best quality, compassionate, caring, educated individuals. Safety is top priority, cameras and officers on duty. Open to parent involvement. Concentrates on academics not dress codes etc...

This school isn't only for troubled kids. My child is a 4.0 student, National Honor Society with one of the top AIMS grades for 2007. She will be able to graduate as a junior due to their computer in class program and at home independent studies. They are strict with attendence and Fridays are make up or tutor days. You cannot get this from a public school. Oh, Teachers are top notch, security as well. Happy, Happy, Happy with this school.
