Summary:
The city of De Soto, Wisconsin is home to 4 schools, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, 1 elementary school, and 1 alternative virtual school. These schools serve the De Soto Area School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 247 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin.
Among the standout schools in the district, Prairie View Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and has a strong 4th grade Social Studies proficiency rate. Meanwhile, De Soto High School maintains a high 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, both of which are better than the state averages.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and disparities in elementary school performance. Additionally, the high free and reduced-price lunch rates suggest the district may need to focus on addressing socioeconomic challenges and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students.
