Sunnyvale

The Sunnyvale school district in California consists of 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The district's overall academic performance is above the state average, but there is significant variation in the quality of individual schools.

The top-performing schools in the district are Cumberland Elementary, Cherry Chase Elementary, and Fairwood Elementary, all of which rank among the top 25% of California elementary schools. These schools have consistently high test scores, with over 50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, some schools like Bishop Elementary, Vargas Elementary, and Lakewood Elementary have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism, indicating areas for improvement.

The Sunnyvale district's overall performance, while above the state average, still has room for improvement, particularly in mathematics. Identifying and replicating the strategies used by the top-performing schools could help raise achievement district-wide and provide more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
