Summary

Sunrise School is an exceptional elementary school located in Sandy, Utah, serving 669 students in grades K-5. As part of the Canyons School District, which is ranked 34 out of 93 districts in the state, Sunrise School has consistently been among the top-performing elementary schools in Utah, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking as high as 1st out of 572 Utah elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year.

Sunrise School's academic performance is truly remarkable, with students consistently outperforming the Canyons District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 72.7% of Sunrise School's 3rd graders were proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, compared to just 52.2% for the Canyons District and 48.6% for the state. Additionally, Sunrise School has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.0% to 25.2% over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Draper School and Crescent School in the Canyons District.

One interesting finding is that Sunrise School has a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 12.62% to 14.35% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools in the Canyons District. This suggests that the school serves a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to its high academic performance. However, the school's consistently high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.6 to 22.6 over the past few years, indicates that Sunrise School has found effective ways to manage this ratio and provide a quality education to its students.
