I love sunset park elementary. My son is just about finished up with kindergarten, we had a great experience! Love his teachers, they really helped him grow this past year! The security is great, doors are locked at all times.Their drop-off and pick-up procedure is wonderful-very professional! The staff works very hard to ensure our children are learning and get exercise as well! Thankful Sunset Park is our school :]
