Sun Prairie Area School District

The Sun Prairie Area School District in Wisconsin operates 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district is known for its diverse student population and a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools.

Among the standout schools in the district are Eastside Elementary, Horizon Elementary, and Token Springs Elementary, all of which consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests. These schools also have relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.

The district's two high schools, Sun Prairie West High and Sun Prairie East High, both have a 91.0% four-year graduation rate, which is on par with the state average. However, the district as a whole faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there is significant variation in performance among the three middle schools, with Patrick Marsh Middle ranking higher than Central Heights Middle and Prairie View Middle.
