Summary

Sunrise School is a K–5 elementary school in Sandy, Utah, serving 647 students in the Canyons District and standing out in an area with several highly rated elementary schools. It ranks 12th among 563 Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the state’s 98th percentile, and has earned a five-star SchoolDigger rating. Its 22:1 student-teacher ratio is relatively high compared with several nearby high-performing schools, making its results especially notable for a school of this size.

Academically, Sunrise School performs well above both district and statewide averages in every reported subject and grade. Proficiency rates range from 71.6% to 83.8%, with fifth-grade math the strongest result at 83.8%. The school averages about 74.6% proficiency in English language arts, 79.8% in math, and 74.9% in science across grades 3–5. Its closest high-performing comparisons are Lone Peak School, ranked 14th statewide, and Willow Canyon School, ranked 23rd. Park Lane School, ranked 36th, is smaller, and Sunrise generally posts stronger current results, particularly in math and science.

The school’s long-term record is a major strength: it has ranked among Utah’s top 16 elementary schools in every reported year since 2015–2016 and placed first or second several times. Performance has softened somewhat from its extraordinary 2020–2024 results but remains exceptional. The clearest area for families to monitor is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 23.0% in 2024–2025, above the district’s 18.8% rate and higher than the rates reported by Lone Peak School, Willow Canyon School, and Park Lane School. Overall, Sunrise School is a large, consistently excellent school whose main opportunity is improving attendance while sustaining its broad academic success.
