Summary

Sunset Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 579. While the Edmond School District is highly ranked, Sunset Elementary has faced significant challenges in recent years.

Sunset Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
