Summary

Sullivan Elementary is a PK–5 school in Sullivan, WI, serving 144 students as part of the Jefferson School District. In 2025–26, it ranked 218th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (79th percentile, 4 stars) — a 4-star school inside a 3-star district, since the Jefferson School District ranks 174th of 432 statewide. After a strong stretch in the mid-2010s (5 stars, 96th–98th percentile), Sullivan fell to 2 stars and 45th–50th percentile in 2022–23 and 2023–24, then rebounded to 3 stars in 2024–25 and 4 stars in 2025–26. It is clearly improving, though not yet back to its earlier peak.

Sullivan scored above both its district and the state in every listed subject and grade in 2025–26. Fourth-grade social studies (88.46%) and math (73.08%) are especially strong, along with third-grade math (73.68%). Compared with nearby schools, Sullivan ranks above East Elementary (57th percentile) and Dousman Elementary (41st percentile) and beats them in every listed subject, but trails the top schools in the Oconomowoc Area School District and Kettle Moraine School District, such as Park Lawn Elementary, Greenland Elementary, Summit Elementary and Cushing Elementary. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism was 5.3% in 2024–25, versus 16.3% for the district and 17.3% statewide, and it has stayed low for years.

Sullivan serves a relatively higher low-income population than many nearby high performers — 23.61% free/reduced lunch — while still achieving above district and state averages. Per-student spending was $14,637 in 2024–25, moderate among nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 12.5. The school's special education results stand out: its special education subgroup ranked 96th percentile (28th of 791) in 2025–26 and 92nd percentile in 2024–25, among the strongest signals of how well the school serves this population. Because Sullivan has only 144 students, per-grade cohorts are small, so single-year swings in scores or spending should be read with that small-school context in mind.
