The one-room schoolhouse, which served 21 girls and 13 boys its first year, was the predecessor to the Paradise Valley School District.

Due to failure to secure irrigation rights, many families left the area in the 1920s, resulting in no record of school from 1920 to 1923.

Sunnyside continued to be the solo school for the district until the late 1940s, when electricity was made available in the area.
