The state released last spring’s math and English test scores today, and Sunrise again had the highest scores for middle schools in central San Jose.
Only Hoover Middle School scored higher than Sunrise in English – 2 percentage points higher – but that school scored 12 percentage points lower in math.
Sunrise also had a much higher proficiency rate in math than similar schools statewide (low-income, Hispanic), and the same proficiency rate in English as similar schools.
28% of Sunrise students scored proficient or above in math, compared to 20% at similar schools statewide. 32% of Sunrise students scored proficient or above in English, like similar schools statewide.
Meanwhile, 15% of Sunrise students scored a 4 out of 4 on the ELPAC English Learner test, or slightly higher than the 14% of students passing that test statewide.
