Sunset Elementary was recently awarded for positive behavior growth by the national program: Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (P.B.I.S.). In addition, our school is recognized for our Student Achievement Wall and our collaborative work as a staff. Fifth grade students have the good fortune to benefit from Center for Civic Education grant that supports high school mentoring in the We the People program. Students at Sunset present a Mock Congressional Hearing for distinguished judges who donate their time to our school. In this manner, students leave Sunset with a deep understanding of our United States Government, and how to carry out the duties of citizenship. Sunset Elementary School teachers benefit from a professional community collaboratively working toward student achievement. Students receive their educations from highly qualified teachers, who work tirelessly to teach each child to the best of that child''s ability.

In my opinion, Sunset has some serious discipline problems. Thankfully, Sunset is experiencing many positive changes due to administrative changes (a new principal and staff changes). The level of parent involvement has been low in the past, may have to due with the fact that there are many working parents in the school. Sunset has at least a 48% reduced/free lunch rate.
