About Sunnyside Unified School District
Sunnyside combines several grade configurations across southern Tucson. Most routes move from an elementary campus into a separate middle school and then to Desert View or Sunnyside High. Sierra K–8 keeps students on one campus across the usual middle-school boundary, while the Gallego fine-arts pathway uses primary and upper-grade settings with its own continuation pattern.
STAR Academic High School adds a smaller secondary setting alongside the two comprehensive high schools. Language, culture, career education, and student support operate across the network, while each address or program follows its own school route. A family’s address or chosen program determines how many campus changes occur before graduation.
