Summary

Sunrise Mountain Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 416 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 543 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Sunrise Mountain Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with below-average proficiency rates on STAAR tests across grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's projected 2024-2025 STAAR proficiency rates in 3rd-grade reading and math are 45.76% and 28.81%, respectively, compared to higher district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in STAAR Science, with only 19.23% of 5th-graders projected to be proficient, compared to 25.57% for the district and 29.57% for the state.

Sunrise Mountain Elementary faces significant challenges, including a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (95.19%) and English Language Learners. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the district average, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Milam Elementary, Bliss Elementary, and Colin L. Powell Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The school's declining performance over time suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and close the achievement gap.
