Summary

Sunnyslope Elementary School is a public school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 678 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Academically, Sunnyslope Elementary School underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 11% to 28% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Washington Elementary School District struggling significantly for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Additionally, Sunnyslope Elementary School has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 2.4% to 6.1%.

When comparing Sunnyslope Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, such as Richard E Miller School and Desert View Elementary School, it becomes evident that Sunnyslope is performing significantly worse academically. These nearby schools, while still below state and district averages, have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings compared to Sunnyslope. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Sunnyslope Elementary School, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's underperformance.
