GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Sunnyslope Highschool has truly been the best four years of my life. I believe that it is a special place to be. From the rigorous classes to the competitive sports teams , it is a very well rounded school.

Sunnyslope High School to me is like a second home. I tell all my friends that don't go to Slope that they should transfer. Our academics are very good and the teachers are very helpful. The teachers want to see you succeed, so there are so many resources to help you do so. There are some fights here and there, but are quickly diffused. I would like to see the food change. When my friends bring out the school lunch it looks like a disease. Overall I have had an amazing experience here at Sunnyslope and I don't want to leave.
