I am a ninth grader at Sunset Junior High School and have gone there since seventh grade. When I was about to go into seventh grade I had heard some bad things about it, but I know better now! It is a great school with excellent staff and administration. It also has great programs to help children who are struggling, and school wide programs to improve reading, writing, etc. I have also been wowed by the math teachers. I have learned so much and the teachers are to thank. They teach you well, and give you assignments to learn, instead of just busy work. I am so grateful that I chose to go to sunset, because it has truly helped to grow intelectully.
I am a ninth grade student at Sunset Junior High, and I very much agree with the parent that commented first. Some of the teachers here aren't very 'fun' with their teaching. I always seem to do better in the classes that have the teacher that makes it fun. They are very large in the musical departments, which is something I'm happy for. They have recently canceled the drama class, something which upset me beyond words. (And many others, trust me). I have a friend that is sitting with me who just got VERY angry just because I brought it up again. I don't like the dress code on 'ripped-jeans', which aren't a distraction to the learning process at all. Them making it a rule and a big deal is a distraction. Anyways, there's your review. I know from first-hand experience.
I am so impressed by the staff and administration. I had heard very mixed reviews about this school before we moved but have been pleasantly suprised. I appreciate the band and foreign language departments so much. My son is thrilled to be able to take German. I think they have worked very hard to be aa good, hard-working, safe school.
I am a ninth grade student at sunset junior high and I love it, most of my teachers are fun and easy to talk to, they look at you as a person, not as someone who sits in a desk for 48 minutes a day, and are people I go to for advice. I am going to be sad to leave the teachers that I have had for 1-2 years, they are so fun! I love going to school every day, the availability of extracurricular programs is great, lots of clubs for any student, even the struggling ones, however I don't think there is a lack of parent involvement. I would like to explain to the South Weber parents that without your great kids our school wouldn't have enough students. It just wouldn't be the same without the South Weberans!
