Summary:
Zip code 82214 has three schools in Guernsey, serving kindergarten through grade 12: Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary (K–6), Guernsey-Sunrise Junior High (7–8), and Guernsey-Sunrise High School (9–12). Together, they enroll 190 students. The most important overall finding is that Junior High’s latest results are closest to state levels, though performance varies considerably by grade and subject.
Junior High stands out: seventh-grade ELA matches the state at 56.5%, and eighth-grade math is 1.7 percentage points above it; across five available comparisons, its average gap is 6.7 points below state results. High School also has a bright spot in 10th-grade math, at 50% versus 45% statewide. The clearest low results are at Elementary: third-grade math is 16.7% versus 61.2% statewide, and third-grade ELA is under 10% versus 55.7%. Elementary’s fifth-grade ELA and math results are stronger, both 58.3% and within three points of state rates. Because the schools serve different grades, their results are not direct school-to-school comparisons.
Results are improving in some grades, but not consistently: Junior High improved its state-relative gap in four of five comparisons from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while High School’s 10th-grade ELA and math improved even as its 10th-grade science gap widened by 19.8 points. SchoolDigger rankings also show Junior High’s strongest movement, rising from the 5th to the 30th percentile; High School went from the 14th to the 21st, while Elementary remained at the 13th percentile. The schools report similar 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch eligibility rates, from 57.1% to 59.4%, and student-teacher ratios from 6.9 to 8.7. High School’s graduation rate is 84.2%, 1.1 points above the state rate.
