Summary

Sunrise Elementary serves 1,235 students in grades K–6 in Rancho Cordova, a Sacramento-area community, and is part of Elk Grove Unified. Its clearest strength is academic performance: in 2025–2026, it led nearby schools in English language arts and math, and scored above both the district and California in all three tested subjects.

ELA and math are where Sunrise stands out most. It had 69% proficiency in ELA and 61% in math, compared with nearby-school averages of 36% and 29%, respectively; its results were 15 and 17 percentage points above the district and 20 and 23 points above the state. Science was a relative weak spot, ranking third among nearby schools, but its 45% proficiency was still above the district’s 37%, the state’s 36%, and the nearby-school average of 28%. Third grade was especially strong, with 77% proficiency in ELA and 75% in math. Fifth-grade math was a sharper dip at 45%, though still above the state and district. Among the four schools with sixth-grade results, Sunrise ranked highest in both ELA and math.

Scores remain strong, but the latest results are lower than in 2022–2023: ELA fell from 73% to 69%, math from 63% to 61%, and science from 46% to 45%. Sunrise’s lead over the state narrowed in all three subjects, although its scores remain higher. SchoolDigger ranks the school 992nd of 5,804 California schools, at the 83rd percentile, with four stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.2, and 33% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings show lower standing for some student groups than for the school overall: the school ranked at the 39th percentile for Multi-racial Students and 45th for Asian Students, compared with its overall 83rd percentile.
