    "I am a student in the gifted Digital Learning Center at Sunrise and all the teachers (except for Mr. Graham, Mrs. Binder, Ms. Leland, and Mrs. Grobmeier) know nothing but what is in the book which is fine for students in standard classes but for gifted education students it is not okay. All in all it is 5 out of 5 for the Gifted teachers and -10 out of 5 for the standard teachers."

    "Three great 5-star teachers: B. of 7th grade digital learning center; G. of algebra; B. of gifted English. The rest we encountered were rule-obssessed mind-numbing mediocrities that seemed satisfied to teach to a low-normal level, pretty much just going through the motions. 7th grade DLC was the saving grace, but 8th grade DLC was a disappointing flop. A credential to teach gifted children was demonstrated to be no indication of competence at doing so. Our child encountered no bullying (other than occassional mild bluster from one clownishly dressed adult of probable diminished capacity charged with keeping order). The campus appeared peaceful and largely lawful, unsurprising given its location, although there was at least on burglary of DLC equipment."

    "Our family is very happy with Sunrise. Our child enjoys going to school. The teachers are supportive, experienced, and caring. It is a safe school with an excellent learning environment. No bulleying is allowed. Conficts are resolved in a timely manner."

    "We had the unfortunate experience to attend this school where drugs (spice, marijuana, scripts) are rampant, and teachers just don't care, along with the office staff and principal and Vice Principal. Bottom line if you want your child to succeed, academically, and socially, and expect teachers to teach, and office staff to do their job, the principals not to hide in their offices or turn blind eyes to just about everything unless it benefits them, then RUN, don't walk to another school!"

    "I am a current 7th grader at Sunrise Middle School and I absolutely believe the majority of the teachers at this public school are horrible teachers. The majority of the teachers teach from their teaching manual, they don't know anything about the subject. All the knowledge they have on the topic is straight from the book. A common answer I receive if I ask a question that they don't know is 'It's not written in the book so you have to look it up yourself.' which is a very common reply students get. They get irritated quickly and frustrated, and they do not have tolerance for us students. We also et detention for the most unreasonable reasons like 'speed walking', 'stepping on the grass' (the grass is in the court yard where tables are located) and 'standing up when not called upon'. This is not a school I wish to attend."
