Sunrise Elementary School

Summary:

Sunrise Elementary School is a public elementary school in Albany, Oregon, serving 359 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Greater Albany Public School District 8J, which is ranked 67 out of 140 districts in the state.

Sunrise Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 24.5% of 3rd graders, 21.7% of 4th graders, and 25.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district averages of 41.3%, 38.2%, and 47.3%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is even lower, with only 13.2% of 3rd graders, 19.6% of 4th graders, and 10% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the district's 35%, 34.1%, and 33.1%. Sunrise Elementary School's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oregon elementary schools for White students, Female students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students in both ELA and Mathematics.

Despite the school's low academic performance, Sunrise Elementary School's per-student spending of $17,866 in the 2021-2022 school year is relatively high compared to the state average. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. In comparison, nearby schools within the Greater Albany Public School District, such as Oak Grove Elementary School and North Albany Elementary School, consistently outperform Sunrise Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics, with significantly higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings.

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.
