Summary

Sunrise Elementary is a public elementary school located in De Soto, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Sunrise R-Ix District, which is ranked 139 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Sunrise Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle range of Missouri elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math and English language arts (ELA) often 5-10 percentage points lower than the state average. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in 5th grade math and 3rd grade ELA compared to the state. Sunrise Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 37-47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Despite these challenges, the school has performed well in serving this population, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools for low-income students in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019.

Compared to nearby schools like Plattin Primary, Central Elementary, and West County Elementary, Sunrise Elementary has a slightly lower academic performance, but stands out with its higher percentage of low-income students and lower chronic absenteeism rates. By continuing to focus on improving academic outcomes and addressing the needs of its diverse student body, Sunrise Elementary has the potential to further enhance its performance and provide a quality education for the students in its community.
