Summary

Eastside Elementary is a PK–5 school with 408 students at 661 Elizabeth Ln in Sun Prairie, WI, part of the Sun Prairie Area School District, and it consistently ranks as the district’s strongest elementary school.

The school has held a 4-star rating in nine of the last ten reported years and sits at the 71st percentile statewide in 2025-2026, down from the 81st percentile the year before. It beats the district average in all eight Forward Exam grade/subject combinations and beats the state in seven of eight; the exception is 5th grade math, where 48.05% were proficient and the school trailed the state. Its standout metric is engagement: chronic absenteeism is 5.7%, compared with 20.0% for the district and 17.3% statewide, and it is the lowest rate among nearby comparable schools. The school spends $16,226 per pupil—below the Sun Prairie elementary average of about $17,530—and has one of the larger class sizes in its peer group, yet it posts top-of-district results. Among nearby schools, Horizon Elementary has a higher math average but lower ELA and science averages, while Token Springs Elementary is close in overall ranking but has higher absenteeism.

The main items to watch are a sharp 2025-2026 softening and a widening spread among student groups. Fifth-grade math fell from 72.97% proficient in 4th grade to 48.05% in 5th grade, even as 5th grade ELA improved to 63.64%. The school’s overall percentile also dipped from 81 to 71, its weakest standing since 2017, though it remains above state average and first among Sun Prairie elementaries. Special education students performed above the school as a whole (79th percentile), while several other student groups declined year over year. For context, Granite Ridge School in the Monona Grove School District, about 6.6 miles away, posts similar ELA, math, and science results but has 12.5% chronic absenteeism versus the school’s 5.7%—an impressive benchmark for the school given its own district context.
