Summary

Prairie Lane Elementary is a PK–5 school at 10717 47th Ave in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, serving 451 students as part of the Kenosha School District — a district ranked in the bottom quartile statewide, yet home to one of Wisconsin's top-performing elementary schools.

Prairie Lane ranks 117th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), down from 65th (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024-25 but still in the top tenth of the state. On 2025-26 Forward Exam tests, every subject and grade beat both district and state averages. Fifth-grade English language arts proficiency was 84.9%, versus 47.9% district-wide and 53.6% statewide; fifth-grade math was 77.3%, versus 42.9% and 51.8%. Fourth-grade social studies (83.6%) and science (68.5%) also topped the state. Chronic absenteeism is 11.7%, less than half the district's 27.6% and below the state's 17.3%, and per-student spending is $13,681 — less than seven of ten nearby peers — with a student-teacher ratio of 13.9.

What stands out most is how far Prairie Lane outruns its neighbors, nearly all of which share its district and rank between the 12th and 63rd percentile — including Roosevelt Elementary (63rd), Pleasant Prairie Elementary (51st), Whittier Elementary (36th) and Kenosha School of Language (KSOL) (12th). Jeffery Elementary (79th percentile, 1.9 miles away) is the only nearby school in the same conversation. The watch items are narrow and specific: special education students rank at the 65th percentile, the school's lowest subgroup result; low-income student performance has slipped from the 91st to the 77th percentile over two years; absenteeism has risen from 7.2% to 11.7%; and fourth-grade math (67.1%) stays choppy. None of this changes the headline: Prairie Lane is the standout elementary school in its immediate area by a wide margin.
