Sunrise Middle

Sunrise Middle is a charter school serving grades 5–8 in the 95116 zip code, a working-class east San Jose neighborhood with deep Latino roots and a strong sense of community. The school shows a notably wide range across subjects — math scores stand out at the 64th percentile while science lags behind — making it a reasonable fit for families who value the flexibility of a charter model and want their kids in a smaller, mission-driven environment. East San Jose has been going through gradual change, with growing investment in the area, and families here tend to be practical and community-oriented, looking for schools that offer something a bit different from the traditional district path.
