Sunrise Elementary School

I can't say that I truly love or dislike Sunrise Elementary. They have many great arts programs and the technology they get to use is improving greatly. My son has many friends and likes going to school for the most part. Recently though he went from being ok at math to failing (in 1st grade). With our son saying "he didn't learn it in class until after the test.". We quized our son, did flash cards, even bought a workbook to go over math with him. When we asked the teacher if there was anything we could do to help him the response was "just to go over it with him more." and "Not to worry." Which we have been, constantly. He gets A's and B's on test for every other subject so we are at a loss, we seem to be putting in all the effort to help him with none from the teacher. We understand with the number of students in her class she can't always spend extra time but it seems like she's given up. There was also a few instances of my son being bullied by a 6th grader to the point he would not go to the cafeteria in the morning. When this was brought to the principal we felt the issue was dismissed or like she just didn't beleive it.

I have 4 children in attendance at Sunrise, for the last 3 years. All have been challenged and done very well. If anything I am a more relaxed parent and they worry more than I do about my children's success. We attended schools in Folsom and El Dorado Hills and are very pleased with our little Anatolia area.

We have 3 kids at Sunrise and all are doing very well academically and love their teachers. High parent participation and great support from school leadership help make this a great school!

My grandson HATES school. He tells me that his teacher is not nice. My daugher once trid to talk to the principal and she told she got very upset with her. I would like to know who she could go and talk to. A second grade student should not hate school. I would say this is very unprofessional for the school not to listen to the bad.

This is an amazing school--more like an academy. The teachers are dedicated and creative. The parent participation is fantastic. But most of all, the Principal is 100% dedicated to her students. I have two children at this schoola and they have never done better!

A great school, with a very diverse student body, excellent teachers who love to teach and a principal that seems to relish her job. My kids love going to school here. There is also a very dedicated parent organization that works hard to earn money for extras that truly make the school an outstanding place for kids to learn and grow.

I have two children at this elementary school. Both of them have had very positive experiences with their teachers and are doing very well. The facilities are new and the staff is great.

My youngest son has attended the school since it opened in 2007. It continues to be my favorite among all the elementary schools my children have attended over the years ( I have 4 kids). The facilities are clean and modern, the neighborhood is safe, diverse student body, and the teachers and principal are dedicated. Hope the budget cuts wont take the luster out of this gem.

My two children are borderline ADD. The school and the teachers cooperated very well with us. A plan was set; the resulet is very tangible and very satisfying. The school is academically oriented, so parents must follow up and be ready to put in the efforts to see good results.

An excellent for the past 3 years. No complaints from this parent. It's kind of scary not knowing what the future holds with all the upcoming budget cuts and all, but the school has responded so well so far. Go Spartans!
