Sunset Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified school district, located in La Puente, CA with about 237 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
