Sunnyside Elementary

Summary:

Sunnyside Elementary is a public elementary school in Marysville, Washington, serving 475 students in grades K-5. As part of the Marysville School District, which is ranked 177 out of 247 districts in the state, Sunnyside consistently outperforms the district in academic performance.

Sunnyside's students excel in standardized tests, with 51.26% proficient or better in ELA and 51.68% in Math, compared to the district's 39.06% and 27.54%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade students are particularly strong, with 61.36% proficient or better in ELA and 48.86% in Math, significantly higher than the district averages. Sunnyside's Hispanic and English Language Learner students also perform well, ranking in the top 25-30% and top 40% of Washington elementary schools in ELA and Math, respectively. However, the school's performance for Special Education students is relatively low, ranking in the bottom 50% of the state.

While Sunnyside outperforms other Marysville School District elementary schools like Pinewood, Kellogg Marsh, and Allen Creek, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Lake Stevens School District, such as Highland, Hillcrest, and Stevens Creek. This may be due to Sunnyside's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged population.

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.
