Summary:
The Sun Prairie Area School District in Wisconsin is home to three high schools: Sun Prairie West High, Sun Prairie East High, and Prairie Phoenix Academy. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the three high schools, Sun Prairie West High stands out as the top performer, ranking 167th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 10th-grade proficiency rates in several subjects exceed the district and state averages, and it boasts a high graduation rate of 91% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%. In contrast, Sun Prairie East High has more mixed academic performance, with some subjects above and others below the district and state averages.
The smallest of the three high schools, Prairie Phoenix Academy, has a unique profile. Despite its higher spending per student at $19,494, the school's academic performance is more varied, with a 10th-grade social studies proficiency rate of 42.86% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the district average. However, the school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 61.9%, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to its performance challenges.
