I have been a part of the Sunnyside Unified School District my entire life. The district has always been seen as a horrible district due to the fact that we are in the South-side. From an outsider's perspective, they automatically assume that sending their kid to this district is a recipe of disaster. But, that's not the case. Just because our schools are on the dangerous side of town, doesn't mean we will not be successful. I can confidently say that I am ready for college. Sunnyside High School and Desert View High School offer excellent career pathway courses that have helped me decide what I want to be in the future. At Sunnyside, the counselors are extremely helpful. They are attentive with all students and offer many resources. Not only that, our school spirit is unlike any other districts. People are proud of acknowledging they are apart of SUSD.
I like that the teachers there are responsible and know how to get their job done even when there is some seriously challenging individuals in the way. I like that there can be a healthy student-teacher bond between the students and staff and I love that programs such as the JROTC programs brings students together like a family. I'd like to see changed how they handle things like vaping/smoking in the school grounds because sometimes it can be very distracting or when you need to use the restrooms a group of friends is locked in there doing who knows what, other than that the school is great.
Sunnyside Unified School District is a fairly good district in general senses. We have good food, and computers for everyone, and a good amount of teachers that actually care about their students, but I feel the way students get so passed on by the district. I feel that children that don't apply themselves enough get everything handed to them, which makes them unprepared for for the things in the future, including college.
