Summary

Sunrise Elementary School in Kissimmee, FL, serves 906 students in grades PK-5 within the Osceola County School District, a district ranked 57th out of 70 in Florida, and the school itself has historically ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, currently sitting at the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating.

While Sunrise faces significant challenges, it is not the lowest-performing school in its immediate area. It outperforms several nearby schools, including Central Avenue Elementary (2nd percentile) and Knights Point K-8 (2nd percentile), as well as Thacker Avenue Elementary For International Studies (18th percentile) and Kissimmee Elementary (12th percentile). A notable bright spot is the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, which reached 55%—nearly matching the district average and only 6 points below the state average. However, this strength contrasts sharply with a critical weakness in 5th-grade math, where proficiency is just 34%, a staggering 28 points below the state average. This inconsistency suggests a potential strength in 5th-grade ELA instruction but a major need for improvement in upper-grade math.

Chronic absenteeism, a persistent problem that peaked at 36% in 2022-2023, has improved significantly to 29.6% in 2023-2024, now below both the district and state averages. This positive trend differentiates Sunrise from many neighbors like Deerwood Elementary (41.6%) and Central Avenue (43.9%). The most striking comparison is with Reedy Creek Elementary, just 2.19 miles away, which scores 65% proficiency in 3rd-grade ELA compared to Sunrise's 43%, highlighting a classic case of educational inequality within the same district. Additionally, Mater Brighton Lakes, a charter school with a much higher poverty rate (83.58%), achieves a higher ranking (35th percentile) than Sunrise, suggesting that certain practices may be more effective at overcoming socioeconomic barriers. For Sunrise, the key takeaways are to replicate its 5th-grade ELA success, urgently address the math decline from 3rd to 5th grade, and continue reducing absenteeism.
