Summary

Sullivan Elementary has shown strong academic performance in recent years, ranking as high as 8th out of 1,076 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2014-2015. In the 2024-2025 school year, its 3rd grade students scored 72% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 92% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school also ranks 61st out of 802 Wisconsin elementary schools for its performance with special education students, earning a 5-star rating in this category. However, Sullivan Elementary's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 8th in 2014-2015 to 343rd in 2024-2025, and its chronic absenteeism rate has increased significantly.

Compared to other nearby schools, Sullivan Elementary generally performs better academically, particularly in Mathematics. However, some schools in the Oconomowoc Area School District, such as Summit Elementary and Park Lawn Elementary, as well as schools in the Kettle Moraine School District, like Cushing Elementary and Dousman Elementary, outperform Sullivan Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
