The district serves a diverse population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 30.37% at Prairie High School to 88.57% at Prairie Edge, the alternative school.

The standout schools in the district are Prairie View Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Prairie Ridge Elementary, which also performs exceptionally well.
