Sunnyvale Middle School is a terrific environment for children. The teachers are interested in every child and will go out of his/her way to address special needs without taking away from the rest of the class. These teachers have the full support of the administration and have been given the very best tools to work with. The science and computer labs have got to be among the best in the state. It is a true small town environment in that the teachers and administrators know just about every child in that building, so there is always someone watching out for them or keeping an eye on them whichever the case may be. The faculty and staff want our kids to succeed not only academically but be ready for the real world and succeed there as well.
