Summary

Sunrise Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 385 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a high-needs community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science below both district and state averages; for example, only about 10% of students were proficient in science in the 2024-2025 school year. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 30% of students missing too much school, a rate notably higher than at nearby schools like First Street Elementary (20.5%) and Soto Street Elementary (15.6%). Despite lower overall scores, Sunrise shows important strengths in effectively serving specific student groups, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for English Language Learners and the 73rd percentile for students in Special Education.

The school's performance varies greatly by grade, with some grades performing at or above average while others struggle significantly. Compared to a nearby charter school, KIPP Promesa Prep, which serves a similar student population and achieves higher academic results with lower per-student spending, there are questions about how resources are used at Sunrise. However, the school is on a positive trajectory, having improved its statewide ranking over the past decade and significantly reduced its absenteeism rate since the pandemic.
