Summary

Sunrise Elementary School is a K–5 school in Albany, Oregon, serving 324 students as part of Greater Albany Public School District 8J. The district is mid-to-high performing statewide (50th of 141, 65th percentile, 3 stars), but Sunrise is currently below that profile: in 2025–26 it ranked 542nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools, placing it in the 24th percentile with 1 star. That is an improvement from the bottom decile in recent years, but it still leaves the school in the bottom quartile statewide.

Academic results are mixed. Overall proficiency in 2025–26 was 30.7% in English language arts, 25.5% in math, and 15.4% in science, all below district and state. Third grade is a bright spot: ELA 45.7% and math 41.3%, above district and equal to state in math. Fourth and fifth grades are much weaker: 4th grade ELA 17.3%, math 19.6%; 5th grade ELA 30.8%, math 17.3%, science 15.4%. Nearby high performers include Oak Grove Elementary School (ELA 63.5%, math 65.4%, science 48.3%) and North Albany Elementary School (ELA 67.9%, math 58%, science 42.6%). Nearby lower performers include Lafayette Elementary School, Periwinkle Elementary School, Waverly Elementary School, and South Shore Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is the biggest differentiator: 48.8% in 2024–25, higher than every nearby school and well above district and state. Poverty is also high: 80.56% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25.

Resources are relatively high — $23,148 per student and a 14:1 student-teacher ratio — but outcomes remain low, which raises questions about how supports reach students. A positive sign: the school’s effectiveness rankings for special education and low-income students are near the state median, much stronger than its overall 24th percentile rank. The school has also improved its overall rank from 8–9th percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25 to 24th percentile in 2025–26. For parents, the key takeaways are the recent upward trend, the strong 3rd grade results, and the urgent need to address absenteeism and upper-grade learning, especially science.
