Summary

Garden Prairie Intermediate School is a public school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving 491 students in grades 2 through 5 as part of the Beloit Turner School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 486th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars), an improvement from 2-star, below-median results in the early 2020s, though a small step back from 58th percentile in 2024–2025. The school is currently performing above its district, which ranks 256th of 432 districts (41st percentile, 2 stars).

On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, Garden Prairie was above the state average in 7 of 8 tested subject-grade combinations. Fourth-grade math was a standout at 61.34% proficient versus the state's 52.87%, and ELA was above state in grades 3, 4 and 5. The exception was 5th-grade math, at 47.11% compared with the state's 51.81%. Compared with nearby schools, Garden Prairie far outperforms Beloit School District elementaries such as Merrill Elementary, where 5th-grade ELA proficiency was 10% versus Garden Prairie's 57.02%. The closest high-performing peer is Van Buren Elementary, which ranks 297th of 1,039 (71st percentile, 4 stars) and is ahead in grades 4–5 math, science and social studies.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 5.5% in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools and well below the district's 8.4% and the state's 17.3%. The school also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (34.01%) and the lowest per-student spending ($10,847) among listed peers, with the highest student-teacher ratio (17.2) — suggesting efficient use of resources. By subgroup, Hispanic students ranked in the 75th percentile with 4 stars, while results for White students (38th percentile), low-SES students (44th, down from 74th in 2024–2025) and special education students (42nd) lag. Key opportunities: 5th-grade math, science and social studies consistency, and narrowing those gaps.
