Summary

Sulphur Springs Community Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 586 students in Canyon Country, part of the Sulphur Springs Union school district, which is ranked above average in the state.

Academically, the school's performance is mixed; it generally beats state averages in English and Math, with 6th graders excelling in English, but it shows a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade and now sits in the middle tier of its own district. It trails behind higher-performing neighbors like Golden Oak Community (82nd percentile) and Pinetree Community Elementary (72nd percentile), while outperforming closer schools such as Mitchell Community Elementary. Key challenges include a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.5%, a significant performance gap between female and male students, and a sharp recent decline in outcomes for students in special education.

Despite spending more per student than several nearby schools, the school faces hurdles with rising economic disadvantage among its students and struggles in specific areas like 5th-grade math. Parents should note the variability in performance across different student groups and grades, indicating that the school's effectiveness is not consistent for all children.
