Summary

Sunnyside Elementary is a PK–5 public elementary school in Sobieski, WI, serving 497 students in the Pulaski Community School District. For 2025–2026, it ranks 172nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools—83rd percentile, 4 stars—above its district's 75th percentile ranking and among the stronger elementary schools in the area. The improvement has been dramatic: Sunnyside was 642nd of 1,067 schools (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2022–2023, a 43-percentile-point climb in three years.

Academically, Sunnyside scored above the state in every reported Forward Exam subject and grade in 2025–2026, and above the district in most. Third-grade ELA was 76.32% proficient (district 67.75%, state 52.08%), and all three tested grade levels beat both district and state in math. Fourth-grade social studies (85.53%) and science (77.63%) were especially strong. The clearest relative soft spot is 5th grade ELA at 60.71%—above the state's 53.63% but below the district's 65.23% and below Lannoye Elementary (80%) and Glenbrook Elementary (63.16%). Subgroup results stand out: the special education subgroup ranked 53rd of 791 schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and the low-SES subgroup 62nd of 848 (93rd percentile, 5 stars), with the low-SES ranking rising from the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 93rd in 2025–2026.

Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 5.7% in 2024–2025, far below the district's 11.4% and the state's 17.3% and the lowest among listed nearby schools—Suamico Elementary (6.3%), Fairview Elementary (6.5%), and Abrams Elementary (6.8%) are next, while Howard Elementary (21.5%) and New Leaf Prep Academy (20.6%) are far higher. Sunnyside does this with per-pupil spending of $14,025, below the nearby median, and a student–teacher ratio of 13.7, higher than most nearby schools. Its 172nd statewide rank also outpaces Meadowbrook Elementary (228th), Howard (200th), Suamico (227th), and Forest Glen Elementary (186th), even though those schools are in the higher-ranked Howard-Suamico School District. Only Bay Harbor Elementary (95th) is clearly ahead.
