We've been very impressed with this school. The teachers and staff are dedicated and my son has been excited for the next day of school literally for the past two years. Teachers are very progressive and show great ability in utilizing current learning technologies. Thanks Sunrise!

We are so impressed by the professionalism of all the staff. Sunrise elementary is a very welcoming school. Our boys are always excited to go to school to learn, participate in clubs and events. We see them flourishing and we feel Sunrise is major part of their success thus far.

My daughter was a transfer student and did very well at this school. The teachers and staff are friendly and informative. I would've liked the school to have a more aggressive curriculum, as my daughter was not challenged. I did not approve of the school district conforming to a certain community by not allowing certain foods to be served and by renaming holiday/special events as to not offend.

The outdoor supervision by staff is poor at best. There have been incidents of bullying that go unpunished because there is not enough staff around to watch all the students outside. Kids in the morning walk to the playground around the outside of the building that is NEVER staffed and creates a very dangerous scenario for the security of the students.

Sunrise has an unbelievable principal who has created an excellent community. The staff is committed and very talented. The PTA is active and parents really care. My children love going to this school.
