Sunridge Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Sunridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 349 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fowler Elementary District, which is ranked 484 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunridge Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, well below the state and district averages. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, now ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Arizona elementary schools. This is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of Hispanic students (83.95%) and economically disadvantaged students (63.61% receive free or reduced-price lunch). Sunridge's performance is especially low for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona elementary schools in these subgroups.

While the nearby Western Valley Elementary School and Fowler Elementary School also struggle academically, they generally perform better than Sunridge Elementary School, with higher proficiency rates and slightly higher statewide rankings. This suggests that Sunridge Elementary School may face unique challenges in terms of resources, funding, and community support that are impacting its ability to improve student outcomes.
