(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Sunset Park Elem. has good staff and teachers. The peers.however, have too much needed attention for 1 classroom teacher to handle. Close to 3 or 4 children per class can't speak English or needs help at ESL.Some students are just plain stubborn and slow down the lesson just because their bored or other reasons.I decided to go to a different school on my 'senior year
' at Sunset. (which is a big deal, kinda)Because i enjoyed the extra curriculum activities instead of making the best of class periods.(which is hard to do)Sunset isn't a BAD school. it just needs more than a few improvements.
