I attended Sunrise Elementary from Kindergarten to sixth grade, and it prepared me extremely well for my transition to a private school in middle and high school. I loved all my teachers, and everyone was very friendly. There was this great sense of community throughout the seven years I spent there. I had basically the same group of kids in my grade because it was a small school, but smaller classes meant getting more one-on-one time with teachers. I loved Sunrise! Close Quote
