Sunnyslope Elementary School

Sometimes you have to move away from somewhere to realize the immensity of your loss. Although, we knew we would miss Sunnyslope, we were not aware of how much. It is the teachers, staff and principal that make this school great, no doubt. The academics there are appropriately challenging but what impressed us most is the connection and effort that the staff makes with the kids. It seems that all the kids are called by their names by the lunch staff, custodian, principal, front office - not just by their home room teachers. Each student has a sense of being an important part of a community. The down falls of the school are mostly financially related - I wish they had an art department, better playground equipment (though my kid never complained), smaller classes and more after school sports programs. The PTA is a hard working group that hosts many school spirited functions to their credit. We always felt like it was a safe, positive and inspiring environment. Thanks Sunnyslope, you do a great job!

As a military family, we move often and finding a school that welcomes new children is hard thing to do in a small town. Sunnyslope has been an excellent enviornment for my children. They are challenged academically and supported by the teachers and principal. Their WASL scores clearly demonstrate the focus on education at Sunnyslope. There is a real sense of family associated with this school as well.

Sunnyslope is a great school! The principal is great and the teachers really care about their students. I couldn't believe the amount of parent involvement in this school. Everybody really pulls together for the students. I am proud my son has attended Sunnyslope for the last 6 years and would recommend enrolling your student there.

This school is fantastic. I love the teachers & students and staff alike. Mr. Leslie is an outstanding principal. Mrs. Myers is just the best out of all the 6th grade teachers i think. Mr. Matheny of course should always have respect since how long he's been teaching. Mr. Vorhees is just the funniest guy. Mrs. Zamberlin is another terrific teacher. All in all, everyone there is fantastic, outstanding, wonderful, lively, respectful, responsible, and overall, FUN.

We have been thrilled with the staff and the quality of education at Sunnyslope. We are greatly encouraged by the WASL scores for the school. Our two currently enrolled daughters have been very happy there and love all their teachers, and our younger daughter can't wait to start.
