Summary

Prairie View Elementary is a grades 3–5 school in East Troy, WI, serving 261 students as part of the East Troy Community School District, on a campus area shared with Little Prairie Primary (PK–2). Its rank improved from the 46th percentile in 2016–17 to a high of the 84th percentile in 2020–21, then slipped to the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in 2025–26, still above the state median but below its recent peak.

On the 2025–26 Forward Exam, Prairie View Elementary scored above the state in every tested subject and grade. Fourth grade was the standout: math at 72.37% was 19.5 points above the state, and ELA at 68.42% was 14.6 points above. Third grade math dropped from 71.05% to 59.77%, and third grade ELA fell from 67.11% to 55.17%. Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength at 5.4% in 2024–25, far below the district’s 9.7% and the state’s 17.3%, though some neighbors report even lower rates, including Jackson Elementary (0.0% as reported) and Section Elementary (0.9%). The school spends $16,012 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.3, but its 62nd-percentile rank trails nearby schools such as West Side Elementary (83rd), Rolling Hills Elementary (95th), and Tibbets Elementary (95th), some of which spend less and have larger classes.

The free/reduced lunch rate has risen from 21.77% in 2022–23 to 29.5% in 2024–25, a moderate but increasing poverty level. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-income students remain relatively strong at the 70th percentile (3 stars), while special education students have fallen to the 40th percentile (2 stars). Compared with Eagle Elementary, Prairie View Elementary outperforms across all tested areas while spending less per student and having a slightly larger class size. It also has better attendance and smaller classes than Little Prairie Primary. Overall, Prairie View Elementary is a solidly above-average school with strong attendance, small classes, and proficiency above state averages, but it faces a recent rank decline, mid-pack results versus several nearby high-performing schools, rising poverty, and uneven subgroup outcomes.
