Sunrise Acres Elementary School

Summary:

Sunrise Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 553 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 7th out of 13 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Acres Elementary consistently underperforms the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.9% of Sunrise Acres students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 30.1% in Clark County and 32.6% statewide. The school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 370 out of 377 Nevada elementary schools, placing it in the bottom quarter. Sunrise Acres also has particularly low performance among its special education students, ranking 186 out of 227 Nevada elementary schools in this subgroup in the 2017-2018 school year.

The nearby schools, such as Hollingsworth Howard Elementary and Cambeiro Arturo Elementary, also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students and underperform the county and state averages, but not to the same extent as Sunrise Acres. The school's consistently low performance and declining statewide ranking suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
