Sunrise Elementary: The Numbers Are Huge, But So Is The Asterisk

Sunrise Elementary is an elementary school in Northshore School District. The local dataset puts it at grade span PK, K-5 with enrollment of 323. The headline academic number: 91.1% combined ELA/math meeting standard across the available three-year data, with 90.5% in the latest year.

But this is not a normal neighborhood-school comparison. Local data shows 58.8% Highly Capable enrollment and labels access as Attendance-area school. That makes the school important, but it also makes naive ranking misleading.

The Short Version

  • Local structured data: 91.1% combined ELA/math over available three-year data; 92.4% ELA and 89.7% math.
  • Access is the first filter: Attendance-area school. Home-address assignment for neighborhood schools; waiver/application process for other placements.
  • Program status is a live issue: 58.8% of the student body is formally identified as Highly Capable ([Local CSV Data](data/selected_districts/elementary_sbac_readiness_summary_mapped.csv)).
  • The surrounding block group is Very low for kid density, about 0.3 estimated kids per typical block.
