Summary

Pleasant Prairie Elementary is a PK–5 school at 9208 Wilmot Rd in Pleasant Prairie, WI, serving 542 students as part of the Kenosha School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 514th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (51st percentile, 3 stars), stronger than its district (340th of 432, 21st percentile, 1 star). It has been mostly 3-star since 2022–2023. Among nearby Kenosha District elementary schools, it is mid-pack: below Prairie Lane Elementary, Jeffery Elementary, Nash Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, and Ruth Harman Academy, but above Whittier Elementary and several others.

Its clearest strengths are attendance and 4th-grade social studies and science. Chronic absenteeism was 10.9% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 27.6% and the state’s 17.3%, and second-lowest among nearby schools behind only Whittier Elementary at 9.4%. Fourth-grade social studies has been above the state for three years (71.79 in 2025–2026), and 4th-grade science also has. In 2025–2026, the school beat the district in all eight shown subject/grade rows; it was above the state in 4th-grade ELA, 3rd-grade math, 4th-grade social studies, and 4th-grade science, but below in 3rd-grade ELA, 5th-grade ELA, and 4th-grade math, and noticeably below in 5th-grade math (44.83 vs. 51.81). The prior year was stronger across all listed subjects.

Effectiveness varies by student group. African American students have been a standout—87th percentile, 4 stars in 2025–2026, and 94th–96th percentile, 5 stars the prior two years—and Asian, Hispanic, and female students also do well. However, special education students were at the 17th percentile, 1 star, in 2025–2026, down from 43rd percentile, 2 stars, previously; low-SES students were at the 36th percentile, 2 stars. Male, white, and English Language Learner results also declined in 2025–2026. It spends $12,971 per student (2024–2025), relatively low among nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio improved to 14.6. Nearby Prairie Lane Elementary and Jeffery Elementary both rank higher overall, while Nash Elementary outperforms the school in most 2025–2026 tests. Overall, it has a solid foundation, especially in attendance and 4th-grade social studies and science, but should monitor 5th-grade math and subgroup performance.
