Summary

Sunrise Elementary is a consistently high-performing public elementary school (PK-5) serving 644 students in Spokane Valley, WA, as part of the highly-rated Central Valley School District.

Academically, Sunrise stands out as a top-tier school, significantly outperforming both district and state averages in all core subjects, with recent proficiency rates over 70% in math and English Language Arts. The school has maintained an elite statewide ranking, typically between the 86th and 91st percentiles, for the past decade. Notably, Sunrise achieves these excellent results while spending less per student than many comparable schools, such as McDonald Elementary and South Pines Elementary, suggesting a focus on effective resource use and strong teaching.

When compared to nearby schools, Sunrise serves a community with a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (25.78%). Despite this, the school ranks in the 98th percentile statewide for effectively serving its economically disadvantaged students, demonstrating exceptional support. This performance contrasts with other schools in the district, like Opportunity Elementary and Broadway Elementary, which face greater challenges. While strong overall, areas for attention include a dip in 5th-grade math scores and recent declines in special education rankings, though support for special education students remains above the state average.
