Summary

Garden Prairie Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving 497 students in grades 2-5. The school is part of the Beloit Turner School District, which is ranked 258 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Garden Prairie Intermediate School has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance, with its statewide ranking rising from 597 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 435 out of 1,044 in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating. The school's students consistently outperform the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam, with 3rd-grade students achieving 66.95% proficiency in ELA and 71.19% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students have consistently performed at a high level, ranking in the top 65 out of 322 Wisconsin elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025.

However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.0% in 2023-2024 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. This trend warrants further investigation and intervention. Despite this challenge, Garden Prairie Intermediate School outperforms many nearby schools, such as Jackson Elementary in the Janesville School District and several Beloit elementary schools, in academic achievement on the Forward Exam.
