Summary

Sunrise Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 971 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 57 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.6% to 34.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 15-20%. The school's test scores are generally below the Osceola district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 38-58% of Sunrise students proficient in ELA and Math in 2024-2025, compared to 51-63% statewide. Sunrise also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.75% to 57.57%, higher than the state average of around 50-55%. Despite spending more per student ($10,037 to $12,644) than the state average of around $8,000-$9,000, the school's academic performance remains below average.

Comparing Sunrise Elementary to nearby charter schools, such as Renaissance Charter School at Tapestry, Bellalago Charter Academy, and Mater Brighton Lakes, suggests that these alternative educational models may be more effective in this community, as they tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall performance metrics. Sunrise Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, indicating a persistent challenge in improving student outcomes.
