Sunrise Elementary School

Sunrise Elementary School is known for its friendly energy and consistent approach to learning. Families often describe the school as warm and easy to adjust to, especially for younger children. Math proficiency generally falls in the mid-50% range, placing Sunrise close to Huntley and Highlands Elementary, though below slightly stronger performers like Woodland or Ferber. Teachers use a patient, steady pace, focusing on building confidence in basic math skills before moving into more challenging topics. Parents sometimes compare Sunrise with Houdini Elementary, which performs a bit higher in math, and Highlands Elementary, which sits close to Sunrise in overall consistency. Families with students who show strong academic readiness may look into Appleton’s advanced programs later on, but many choose to stay because Sunrise provides a comfortable mix of structure and warmth. Three-bedroom rentals in this part of Appleton typically range from $1,500 to $2,000 depending on the neighborhood. The nearest major high school is Appleton East High School, known for alumni who’ve gone into engineering, business, healthcare, athletics, and creative arts. Sunrise Elementary offers a familiar and steady environment for young learners.
