About Our School

Sunrise Middle School is focused on the 21st-Century learner. Our commitment to student success is evidenced in a variety of ways. 

Sunrise has taken its place among the best middle schools in our district and across the valley.  The most recent evidence of this is our performance on AzM2 testing where we scored near the top of middle schools in the PVSchools as well as having the highest percentage of students achieving mastery, among middle schools, on all four of the English and math assessments within the 2021 AzM2 testing cycle.  This is but one of many reasons that it is great to be a Sunrise Aztec!

The average class size for middle school is 31 students. Instruction is individualized for students through math leveling, honors and gifted clustering, special education self-contained and resource programs and differentiated instruction in all classes.
