Summary

Sunrise Elementary is a public elementary school in Anthony, New Mexico, serving 433 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Gadsden school district, which is ranked 60 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Gadsden district and the state of New Mexico in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.95% of Sunrise Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.75% for the Gadsden district and 44.19% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 21.01% of Sunrise Elementary students were proficient or better, compared to 28.57% for the district and 26.81% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students.

Sunrise Elementary's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking from 132nd out of 442 New Mexico elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 285th out of 345 in 2024-2025. When compared to nearby schools in the Gadsden district, Sunrise Elementary generally performs worse than its peers. For example, Anthony Elementary, located just 13.38 miles away, ranked 89th out of 345 New Mexico elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics than Sunrise Elementary. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the relatively high student-teacher ratio at Sunrise Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance.
