Summary

Sunrise Elementary is a PK–5 school in Spokane Valley serving 644 students in the Central Valley School District. It is one of the area’s larger elementary schools and is located near several local options, including University Elementary School and Opportunity Elementary. Sunrise ranks 144th out of 1,138 Washington schools, placing it in the 87th percentile, and has a four-star rating.

Academically, Sunrise is one of the strongest schools in its comparison group. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 68.23% in English language arts, 70.08% in math, and 79.70% in science. Those results were above both district and state averages, with the largest advantages in math and science. Sunrise had the highest math and science results among the nearby schools listed, ahead of Ponderosa Elementary, McDonald Elementary School, and Chester Elementary School. Its ELA result was slightly below Summit School, although Summit serves grades K–8 and is not a direct PK–5 comparison.

Performance generally improves by grade, especially in ELA: fifth-grade proficiency reached 78.95%, compared with 61.02% in third grade. This makes earlier-grade literacy an important area to monitor, particularly because the school’s statewide ranking has gradually eased from the 91st percentile in 2021–2022 to the 87th percentile currently. Sunrise also ranks exceptionally well for low-income students, at the 97th percentile statewide, while its special education subgroup ranks at the 71st percentile and has improved in recent years. With a 16.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $15,322, Sunrise combines strong results with a larger enrollment and moderate spending compared with nearby schools.
