Summary

Sunrise Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 549 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Sunrise Acres Elementary has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools and receiving 0-2 stars from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Acres Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 31.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's students perform well below state and district averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21.2% of Sunrise Acres students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 35.4% statewide and 33% in the Clark County district. Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $9,130 to $12,547 in recent years, the academic outcomes have remained poor.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Clark County district, such as Hollingsworth Howard Elementary School, Lunt Robert Elementary School, and Cambeiro Arturo Elementary School, also struggle academically, with similar low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Sunrise Acres Elementary are not unique but rather reflective of broader issues within the district's high-poverty schools. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as poverty and chronic absenteeism, may be key to driving meaningful improvements at Sunrise Acres and similar schools in the region.
