Summary:
ZIP code 53153 covers North Prairie, Wisconsin, and it contains just one elementary school: Prairie View Elementary. It serves grades PK through 6, enrolls 417 students, and is part of the Mukwonago School District, which ranks 30th of 432 districts in Wisconsin (5 stars). Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, families here have a single public option — but it is a strong one.
Prairie View stands out on nearly every measure. It ranked 92nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025-26 (91st percentile, 5 stars), 80th of 1,044 in 2024-25, and 140th of 1,061 in 2023-24, putting it consistently in the top 9–13% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was just 0.5% in 2024-25, compared with 3.8% in the district and 17.3% statewide. On the Forward Exam, the school exceeded the state average in all 10 reported subject and grade tests in both years, typically by about 22–23 percentage points. Math is the strongest area: 6th grade math reached 87.72% and 3rd grade math 85.48% in 2025-26. Fifth and 6th grade ELA also beat both district and state averages.
The main soft spot is 4th grade science, which dropped to 54.55% in 2025-26 — only 1.09 points above state and 20.91 points below district, down 16.88 points from the prior year. Since this reflects a different group of students, a single year should not be read as a trend. Overall, the school's ELA and math average (78.1%) sits slightly below its high-performing district (79.8%) but far above the state (53.4%). Note that year-to-year comparisons involve different student cohorts, and small grade sizes make percentages volatile. Free/reduced lunch (16.55%), per-student spending ($13,127), and the student-teacher ratio of 13.3 are reported without state or district benchmarks, so they are descriptive only.
