Summary

Sunridge Elementary School in Phoenix, Arizona, serves pre-K through grade 5 and enrolls 504 students. In 2025–26, 19% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 18% in math. Both results were well below Arizona’s statewide rates: ELA was 22 percentage points lower and math was 15 points lower. The central finding is that both subjects lagged the state, although math was a relative bright spot compared with the district.

Math stands out most in third grade: Sunridge’s 34% proficiency was 16 points above its all-grades result and 9 points above the Fowler Elementary District rate, though 4 points below the state. It was the third-highest reported result among nearby schools, behind Sunset School at 51% and Academy of Math and Science Desert Sky at 40%. By fourth grade, math proficiency was 18%, compared with 40% statewide and 16% in the district; that tied Fowler Elementary School and Charles W. Harris School. ELA is weaker against the state: third-grade proficiency was 22% versus 39%, and fourth-grade was 25% versus 47%; the fourth-grade result was close to the district’s 23%. Fifth-grade ELA and math results are suppressed.

SchoolDigger places Sunridge at the 11th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, a low statewide standing; among nearby schools with current figures, four ranked lower, two tied, and three ranked higher. Its percentile was 27 in 2011–12 and 11 in 2025–26, but rose just 1 point from 2022–23 to 2025–26, so the ranking shows little recent improvement. The student-teacher ratio increased from 16.6 in 2022–23 to 22.9 in 2024–25, the third-highest among 10 nearby schools; the nearby range was 16.8 to 25.3. Sunridge reported a free/reduced-lunch rate of 64% in 2022–23, with no nearby rates available for comparison. In SchoolDigger’s 2020–21 subgroup rankings, the school’s effectiveness for multiracial students ranked at the 42nd percentile, compared with its overall 16th percentile; its ranking for white students was at the 1st percentile. Test results cover one year per subject and do not show a score trend.
