Summary

Royal Oaks Elementary is a PK–5 school at 2215 Pennsylvania Ave in Sun Prairie, WI, a suburban community just outside Madison, serving 433 students in the Sun Prairie Area School District. For 2025–2026 it ranked 522nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 50th percentile with 2 stars — while the district as a whole placed 288th of 432 at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars.

The central story is a decline from a higher baseline. Royal Oaks Elementary reached the 91st percentile with 5 stars in 2017–2018 and held around the 80th percentile with 4 stars from 2021–2022 through 2023–2024 before falling to the 49th and 50th percentiles in the last two years. Among nearby Sun Prairie schools, Eastside Elementary (71st percentile, 4 stars), Horizon Elementary (69th, 3 stars) and Token Springs Elementary (68th, 3 stars) now outrank it, though Royal Oaks remains above Meadow View Elementary, Northside Elementary, Creekside Elementary, C H Bird Elementary and Westside Elementary. Chronic absenteeism of 15.1% is better than the district's 20.0% and the state's 17.3%, but higher than Eastside's 5.7% and Token Springs' 6.8%. Free/reduced lunch has climbed from 18.71% in 2022–2023 to 32.1% in 2024–2025, and per-student spending of $17,089 with an 11.9:1 ratio exceeds both Eastside and Token Springs, so resources alone do not explain the gap.

Academically, results are uneven: 5th grade ELA (64.52%), 4th grade math (67.27%) and 4th grade science (54.55%) beat district and state marks, while 3rd grade ELA (45.71%) and 3rd grade math (50%) lag. Low-income students ranked in the 14th percentile in 2025–2026, and special education students in the 31st, down from 56th in 2023–2024 — the clearest warning signs. Early-grade literacy and math, plus attendance, are the highest-leverage areas.
