Rising Sun Montessori

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

In El Dorado Hills, California, Rising Sun Montessori is a small K–8 school with 155 students in the Rising Sun Montessori District. In 2024–2025, its all-grades proficiency was above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Science is its clearest strength: 68% of students were proficient, 36 percentage points above the state and 6 points above the nearby-school average.

Compared with nearby schools, the school’s results vary by subject: it ranked third of 11 in science, fifth in ELA, and eighth in math. ELA proficiency was 75%, 3 points above the nearby average of 72%; math was 66%, 4 points below the average of 70%; and science was 68%, versus an average of 62%. All three results were above state levels—by 27 points in ELA, 28 in math, and 36 in science. Grade-level results also differ: sixth-grade ELA was 50%, just above the state’s 48% but well below the school’s 75% all-grades result. The district’s own test results were not supplied, so a school-to-district comparison is unavailable.

Results have improved over time: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, proficiency rose 12 points in ELA, 14 in math, and 18 in science, while state gains were 2, 3, and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger gave the school 4 stars and placed it at the 83rd percentile statewide in 2024–2025; its percentile rose from 80 in 2022–2023. The school is the smallest among the 10 nearby schools, but its student-teacher ratio of 22.1:1 is around the middle of the group. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 19%, compared with a nearby-school average of 15%; it was the third-highest rate among those schools.
