The staff & teachers go above & beyond to support students. Teachers communicate with parents and address concerns quickly efficiently. There are several opportunities throughout the year for parents to come to the classroom. There are awesome events for families to attend throughout the year. Everyone is friendly supportive & beyond helpful. The teachers truly care about each student and want to see them succeed.

Amazing experience for our daughter. We are military and now have moved to another state. She is far ahead of her peers. Great foundation!

If your priority is making your young grade school child test ready and college ready. If attendance is the end all be all. Then this is the school for you. If you are looking for warm and emotional support and a happy learning environment then this is not the school for you. I have never once seen my child greeted with a smile as she arrived at the school.

There is too much time spent focusing on test scores and not enough time developing the social/emotional well being of the children within the classroom. If the child is not performing academically, they are made to feel as if they have no value by some teachers.

Sunderland provided an excellent foundation for my two children. There is a great sense of community and the faculty and staff truly care about the kids. We couldn't be happier!

My daughter attended Sunderland from kindergarten to 5th grade and had an incredibly wonderful experience- academically, socially, and emotionally. The school offers after school clubs which make it easy for busy families- our favorite is Girls' on the Run. The caring staff works very hard and technology is constantly being updated. There are now Smartboards in every single classroom. I can only pray that her middle school experience will be just as positive!

This is such a great school. My daughter entered Kindergarden last year. It was a big challenging due to the transition for her, however the teachers and administeration were great in helping us work through this. This year she entered first grade and is doing well. My youngest entered their new pre-k program for siblings and she can't be happier. I can't say enough good things about the school and the support of everyone.

My son's third grade teacher, Mrs. Brannon, is wonderful. She really cares about her students.

We are a military family and have moved a great deal. This is our fourth elementary school over the years and it is the BEST!!! We are getting ready to move again and the one requirement for the realtor is, 'Keep us in Sunderland!' Best staff EVER! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The FSO is always planning something. You truly can't find a better school!
