Summary:
Sunnyside Union Elementary has one listed school, Sunnyside Elementary, serving grades K–8 with 311 students. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 12% in English language arts (ELA), 7% in math and 7% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide, respectively. The school was below California in all three subjects, with gaps of 37 percentage points in ELA, 31 in math and 29 in science. The most important finding is that achievement was substantially below the state benchmark across every tested subject.
There is no meaningful top or bottom school in this area because Sunnyside Elementary is the only school listed. Results do vary by grade: ELA was highest in 6th grade at 19% and lowest in 7th grade at 3%; math was highest in 4th grade at 14% and lowest in 5th grade at 0%. Science was 14% in 5th grade and 0% in 8th grade. Even the stronger grade results remained below their same-grade state results—for example, 6th-grade ELA was 29 points lower, and 4th-grade math was 28 points lower. These grade differences may help families understand variation within the school, but they do not identify a stronger school alternative in the district.
All three all-grade scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell 10 points, math 4 and science 7, while state results rose, widening the school’s gaps by 11, 5 and 10 points, respectively. SchoolDigger’s ranking also fell to the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, from the 10th percentile the year before; it was at the 4th percentile in 2023–2024. As context, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 18.8 in 2024–2025, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was a relative bright spot in 2025–2026: 16%, compared with 18% statewide, or 3 points lower.
