Description: Sunrise Elementary Schoool is a Title 1 school that has been serving pre-K (Head Start) and Kindergarten through 6th-grade since 1977. The first year, Sunrise students shared the Park Meadows Elementary School campus on double sessions. When construction was completed at the present site in 1978, the Sunrise facility was shared in double sessions with the newly formed Mirage Elementary School. Through voer-approved funding, additions and improvements to the Sunrise campus were made in 1991 to replace portable classrooms with permanent structures. Today, a staff of dedicated teachers and support personnel work to meet the needs of 540 students. Enrollment by grade level is: pre-K (37), Kindergarten (51), 1st-grade (62), 2nd-grade (68), 3rd-grade (82), 4th-grade (89), 5th-grade (87), and 6th-grade (64). Enrollment by ethnicity is: Asian/Pacific Islander (1%), African-American (8%), Hispanic (42%), American Indian (2%), and White (47%).
