SUNRISE HIGH SCHOOL

SUNRISE HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the BROWARD school district, located in FT LAUDERDALE, FL with about 404 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, SUNRISE HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 40:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

SUNRISE HIGH SCHOOL, located on West Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, operates under the Mavericks in Education network. It is a tuition-free public charter school specifically designed to serve students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings or who are seeking a more flexible, personalized approach to earning their diploma. The school focuses on credit recovery and individualized instruction, aiming to re-engage students and provide them with the support necessary to graduate on time.

The school’s curriculum is often delivered through a blended learning model, combining teacher-led instruction with computer-based coursework that allows students to progress at their own pace. By offering smaller class sizes and a supportive environment, Sunrise High seeks to address the unique academic and social needs of its student body. Their mission emphasizes preparation for post-secondary education and career success, prioritizing a path toward graduation for students who might otherwise be at risk of dropping out.
