Parents, be warned when you take your students to this school. The principal will initially be…read morewarm and caring to you, but the second you happen to bring up a problem, she will become the most difficult person you will deal with. My daughter with autism was severely bullied but the teacher was uninterested and failed to take action. The teacher literally hid behind her desk and ran when I tried to talk to her. We had to transfer our children out of the school due to the conduct on the part of the teacher and principal and vice principal that was so bad we had to file a complaint with the district that sustained our allegegations of bullying by the student and teacher involved. The teacher would repeatedly mark our child's work wrong despite it being correct, leading to lower grades than she had earned. I went to this district myself, and Sunrise is a major let down for all of us.

The teachers are amazing, I loved every single one of them, they were always so kind and sweet, whilst still being genuine. Even the higher-ups in the office fit into the same category. Just so sweet and welcoming. And none of them were afraid of having a good relationship with their students, by making jokes, opening up etc. I genuinely miss this school an absurd amount. I love it. it's the perfect middle school.

William J. Palmer High School is located downtown, near Acacia Park and kitty-corner with the…read morestatue of Palmer riding his horse. As a Palmer alumni, I can say I wouldn't have wanted to go to any other high school in Colorado Springs. The location is great, the teachers are in general good, and the feel of the place is great. Palmer also has the I.B. program, an international program that offers a 4 year accelerated level of study, which can give significant college credits, since you are taking college-level courses in high school. The program requires rigorous testing at the end of the program, which would make even the hardened college-student sweat, and definitely is a great program to prepare for college. Also, since the IB program is closed to IB candidate students, this means that IB students have the same classes with a small-ish (100) group of people for 4 years. This means many strong friendships can flourish. IB aside, the school itself still excels in academics compared to other schools in Colorado Springs. The sports are eh - ask someone else who cares. The administration however of Palmer was iffy at best, especially given the needless draconian hall-monitors, as well as the bumbling of the principle and vice-principle. Security is unnecessarily tight..so much so that I think the people there actually are considering that a terrorist might decide to go ape-shit on a random high-school in a random town in a random state. Ridiculous. Still, if you have an option, send your kid here...they will thank you later.

One thing I will say is that a home owner and nearby neighbor I find the siren announcing lightning 10miles away, apologizing to the grass or shooing away folks on the track intrusive and annoying. We live in a beautiful natural environment where noise pollution is not welcomed. I trust, in that educational institution there are those intelligent enough to think of ways to communicate other than a loud obnoxious siren. I can suggest if you must, place your siren on the back side facing the field and farther away from private residences
