Sunrise Elementary

Summary:

Sunrise Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 201 students. It is part of the Sturgeon Bay School District, which is ranked 77 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in the Forward Exam for English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5. The school's Hispanic students, as well as its White and Special Education students, also perform better than the state averages in these subjects. However, Sunrise Elementary has experienced a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 9.4% to 22.8% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.53% to 56.59% in the past three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Sunrise Elementary performs better than Algoma Elementary but lags behind the higher-performing Sevastopol Elementary. The nearby Sawyer Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Sunrise Elementary. Sunrise Elementary's fluctuating statewide ranking suggests inconsistent performance, but its ability to support the academic achievement of its economically disadvantaged students is an area of interest.

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.
