Sunnyslope Elementary School

Public Grades K-8

707^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 900 Arizona Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Arizona elementary schools

Summary

Sunnyslope Elementary School serves 684 students in grades K–8 in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2025–26, 22% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 15% in math, both below the district and state. The clearest concern is math: Sunnyslope’s 15% proficiency rate was 10 points below the Washington Elementary School District and 18 points below the state.

ELA is the school’s stronger subject by comparison, but its results still trail the district and state: Sunnyslope’s 22% proficiency was below the district’s 30% and the state’s 41%. It was fourth-lowest among eleven nearby schools with reported ELA results, whose average was 41%; its same-district peers averaged 24%. Math was second-lowest among nearby schools with results; only Mountain View Elementary School was lower, at 10%. Results also vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA reached 34%, above the district’s 30%, while seventh-grade ELA was 20%, 14 points below the district.

Recent indicators offer a mixed picture. Fifth-grade science proficiency fell from 21% in 2022–23 to 15% in 2024–25, while eighth-grade science rose from 5% to 17% across those reported years. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 9th percentile in each of the prior two years to the 21st percentile in 2025–26, when the school received one star, but it remains below the state midpoint. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 18.2, up from 16.3 the year before; the reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 93% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s group-specific rankings also differed: in 2022–23, it ranked at the 47th percentile for how well it served White students, versus the school’s overall 29th percentile, and at the 12th percentile for how well it served homeless students. Some grade-level results are suppressed, and subgroup rankings may reflect small groups.
