Summary

Sunrise Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 382 students in the Enumclaw School District, a district that ranks above average statewide.

Academically, Sunrise performs slightly above the Washington state average in Math, English, and Science, but generally scores below the average for its own district, particularly in English. The school shows a notable strength in supporting its Hispanic students, who perform well above the school's overall average. However, there is a significant and persistent performance gap between female and male students, with boys' scores being more volatile and lower. While the school spends more per student ($18,422) than most other elementary schools in Enumclaw, this higher spending does not translate to top-tier academic results compared to some neighboring schools with similar or lower budgets.

Interesting patterns emerge when comparing nearby schools. A common challenge across the area is a drop in Math scores in 5th grade, seen at Sunrise, Westwood Elementary School, and Byron Kibler Elementary School. Furthermore, schools in the neighboring White River School District, such as the exceptionally high-performing Mountain Meadow Elementary, consistently outperform those in Enumclaw, suggesting district-level policies and support systems can be a major factor in student success.
