However, the school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 474 out of 561 Utah elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 510 out of 547 in 2024-2025. The school is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Key metrics for Mountain Sunrise Academy raise concerns. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores in RISE Mathematics and Science are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels, with only 12.5% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in RISE Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 36.4%. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.3 to 1 in 2023-2024.

Overall, the data indicates that Mountain Sunrise Academy is a struggling school that is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in Utah. The school's declining rankings, low test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that there may be significant room for improvement in the school's academic performance and overall quality.
