Summary:
The Prairie Farm Public School District in Wisconsin contains a single elementary school, Prairie Farm Elementary, which serves students in grades PK–5 with an enrollment of 125. Because it is the district's only elementary school, there is no other local school to compare it against; instead, the most useful comparisons are to state averages. The school reports a 9.3:1 student-teacher ratio, per-student spending of $18,773, and a free/reduced lunch rate of 41.6%, suggesting a relatively well-resourced setting for its size.
Attendance and reading are the clearest strengths. Chronic absenteeism at Prairie Farm Elementary is 5.4% for 2024–2025 — far lower than the state's 17.3% and below the district's 9.1%. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency beat the state in every tested grade: 53.33% in 3rd, 71.43% in 4th, and 57.14% in 5th. The 4th grade ELA score is the highest reported proficiency figure in the data set, running 17.56 percentage points above the state. Fourth grade Social Studies also topped the state for a second straight year at 71.43% versus 65.51%. The school's overall rank has improved from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026, though it remains below the state median at 2 stars.
Mathematics is the main concern, and it is concentrated in the upper grades. While 3rd grade math rose from 46.15% to 60.00% year over year, 4th grade math sits at 28.57% and 5th grade math at 23.81%, compared with state rates of 52.87% and 51.81%. Those two results are the weakest figures in the data set, and both declined from the prior year. Science is mixed: 4th grade fell from 57.14% to 50.00%, just below the state's 53.46%. With only 125 students, a few students can shift any grade-level percentage noticeably, so single-year changes deserve caution.
