Sunrise Mountain Elementary

Summary:

Sunrise Mountain Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 473. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 610 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Mountain Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (94.93%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 32.19% to 95.61% Hispanic students. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.14% to 95.48% over the past 3 years, much higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 59.64% to 98.33%. However, Sunrise Mountain Elementary's student performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with its 3rd-grade reading proficiency at 47.92% compared to the district's 48.65% and the state's 48.85%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,714 and 3,888 out of around 4,600 schools over the past 10 years, and a rating ranging from 1 to 2 stars out of 5.

While Sunrise Mountain Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending over the past few years, from $9,296 in 2018-2019 to $11,898 in 2020-2021, this has not translated into significantly improved student outcomes. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, and it generally underperforms compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Milam Elementary and Park Elementary, which have higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Addressing the challenges faced by Sunrise Mountain Elementary, including its high-needs student population and lower-than-average academic performance, will require a comprehensive approach to improve instructional practices and provide targeted support for struggling students.

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.
