Sun City Elementary School

I have two children that attend this fantastic school. The teachers go above and beyond in creating meaningful learning experiences for my children. They also do an outstanding job in writing and receiving outside funding sources, such as grants to ensure that my children have the best educational tools possible. The school climate at Sun City is that of a family where every student is valued and appreciated while at the same time, high expectations are expected. I have been very satisfied with this school and would recommend it to anyone who is moving to Bossier parish.

My son has gone to Sun City since he was in Kindergarten, he is now in 2nd grade and I couldn't have chosen a better school. They do so much for the kids and have an excellent program here. If you are coming to this area South Bossier City is where you want to live. Excellent schools!!

I couldn't ask for a better school for my children to attend. The staff and teachers are excellent and very welcomeing. We feel at home here and would have it no other way.

The school building itself is a bit dated and in need of repair. However, the staff (right down the the custodians) are good people and the teachers seem to genuinely care about their students. So far, the curriculum has been great and presented well. My child is right on par to advanced with his skill levels in all academic areas regardless of the fact that he has learning disabilities. His teachers have taken the time to make sure he understands the material being presented and can apply the knowledge. The only thing that has kept me from giving this school 5 stars is the condition of the building. The district needs to either provide a new building or spend some money remodeling the current one.

I moved from Bellaire Elementary (1 mile away) due to a move that put us in Sun City's district. When comparing the two, I would go back to Bellaire in a heartbeat. But, Sun City is a school i would recommend to someone looking to move to south bossier. The teachers are awesome (and that is an understatement). Their caring for the kids surpasses any that i had ever seen growing up in Caddo Parish. But i must say, i am not thrilled with the principal, and i really cant stand the vice principal. They are not very friendly, nor welcoming. The vice principal needs to take some time to learn a few things about her own school as she doesnt seem to know anything about it (believe me this comes from a few encounters i had with her...) but once you get past them, its a great school.

I am very impressed with the curriculum of the school. Though I think that the school should have more things including sports, and let the students have more say in things.

My son attended this school from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I enjoyed the staff and most of the teachers were wonderful. There are plenty of opportunities for those who enjoy volunteering or parent participation projects. Sun City not only recognizes the students with outstanding academic achievements, they also recognize the students who show significant improvements in their grades. As well as those who excel in areas other than academics. I think it's important to recognize a child even if he/she is not the smartest in class. Most of my son's teachers were absolutely wonderful! They greet him when we see them out in public and that shows alot about character. The assistant principal was wonderful as well. As far as the principal, if you're not a male, it won't do much good to speak with him. Women...you may have to have your husbands' to speak with him if a problem arises.

I have a 1st grader here. I also went to Sun City. I Love it! We moved to South Bossier just to get our kids in this school! My son has ADHD and the staff has been very supportive! Staying involved is key at this school! Even if you work, there are ways. Email me with any questions. I want to address some of the negative reviews. Last year, Sun City had some problems. This occurred mainly after the Hurricane. It's across the hwy from a major shelter and kids were being bussed in from there. This caused major overflow and org. problems! I think they handled it pretty well condsidering! I hate that some kids did get overlooked. It was hard on everyone involved last year. This year has been much better! Discipline is very imp in this school!

My experience at Sun City has been wonderful. I believe it is a school with caring teachers, administrators,as well as support staff. The quality of the academic programs there are designed to challenge students and promote learning. My husband and I have been well pleased with Sun City ever since our daughter has been there; our son will be starting 8/2006. As an educator myself, I would say that the extracurricular activities are great and parental involvement is excellent compared to many other schools in the Shreveport/Bossier area.

My second child is going through Sun City now. She has had wonderful teachers and feels very comfortable with the administration at this school. I have never had to worry about her feeling love and welcomed at Sun City. She is getting ready to start her last year at Sun City and I am sure will be very sad to leave.
