Q: Is Sunrise Elementary School a good school?

Sunrise Elementary School ranks 1676 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Sunrise Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 1,068. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36% (compared to the district and state averages), consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subjects (with only 35% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 42% in the district and 53% statewide), and a high percentage of students (50-55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, but it remains below the state average. When compared to nearby schools like Bellalago Charter Academy and Mater Palms Academy, Sunrise Elementary School is performing below its peers in terms of test scores and chronic absenteeism.

Over the past three school years, Sunrise Elementary School has seen a decrease in the percentage of White students (from 17.56% to 14.04%) and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students (from 61.29% to 61.99%), which may be a factor in the school's performance. Additionally, Sunrise Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, suggesting that the school has struggled to improve its academic outcomes over an extended period.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
