"My son transferred from another school in the district this school year for third grade and this is the first time he's really excited about school. He loves his teacher and even told me he will miss her at the end of the school year. He really enjoys the different specials offered and that each one has it's own classroom. Which I really think is nice too. At the first teacher conference I even got to meet a couple of the special teachers which I have never done before. I always requested for them to come at previous school, but they never showed. So I was very impressed. My daughter started kindergarten this year and am very happy with all she has learned in just the short time. Every day she comes home and tells me new things. She already has the yearning to travel and visit all the places she has learned about. Paris and England the least of them. We were going to transfer them to charter next year but have decided to keep them here. Sunset Canyon is an exceptional school."

"My son has trouble in his reading level etc. The teachers and staff work with him and increased his reading grade level 3 grades in this one year alone. He is almost caught up to his level of where he should be. He is likeing to read, more much more then before. They also work with his emotional developement. The complete staff and principal really seem to care with some solid real compassion for him and other children of their school. I am very happy I chose this school for my son, I think you should choose this school too."

"I have twins in Mrs. Dexter s preschool program and I couldn t be more pleased with the amazing things she does with her class. She is very patient, kind and has a love for teaching preschoolers with disabilities. She is a natural. Her staff is just as caring and kind. They will all go above and beyond your expectations. It can be a little scary as your preschooler heads off to school but this preschool team will make it the smoothest transitions you could ever imagine. They will be with you every step of the way."

"My daughter started kindergarten at this school and I can't tell you how impressed I was with her teacher, Mr. Beatty. She excelled academically and he really taught the foundations you need to start first grade. She is now in first grade and her teacher, Mrs. Forthun is absolutely wonderful! My daughter is doing extremely well again this year and the new principal is very hands on and involved in the school. I love the 'Make Your Day' program because I believe it teaches your child to accept responsibility for their behavior. Overall, I think this school is great and my daughter really enjoys going here."

"My son is in kindergarten, and the teacher he had was wonderful! My son sometimes gets off track & is a little hyperactive, but he did very well with the curriculum and was able to stay on task. Very structured curriculum, I like that very much."
