Sunrise Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics typically 10-20 percentage points lower than the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, White students, and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona schools in their respective categories.
