Elementary Schools in East Troy Community School District

The East Troy Community School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: Little Prairie Primary (grades PK-2) and Prairie View Elementary (grades 3-5). While both schools serve the East Troy community, the data reveals a significant performance gap between them.

Prairie View Elementary stands out as the stronger of the two schools, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school's test scores are significantly above the state averages in core subjects, with 67.11% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 52.14%. Prairie View also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the district average. In contrast, Little Prairie Primary does not have any standout performance metrics, with its metrics matching or falling below the district averages.

The data suggests that the higher spending per student ($13,997 at Prairie View vs. $11,146 at Little Prairie Primary) and lower student-teacher ratio (13.8:1 at Prairie View vs. 15:1 at Little Prairie Primary) may contribute to Prairie View's stronger academic performance. However, the East Troy Community School District as a whole is ranked 161 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin, indicating broader district-level challenges that impact both schools despite Prairie View's individual success.
