Summary:

ZIP 53158 is served by three public elementary schools—Pleasant Prairie Elementary, Whittier Elementary, and Prairie Lane Elementary—all PK–5 campuses in the Kenosha School District, with a combined enrollment of about 1,452 students. For parents comparing options, the key story is that achievement varies sharply within the same district: Prairie Lane Elementary is the standout, while Pleasant Prairie Elementary is generally near the state average and Whittier Elementary has the weakest academic results.

Prairie Lane Elementary earned 89th percentile/4 stars in 2025–26 and had a 74.42% overall test average, far above the state’s 54.75% and the district’s 47.02%. Every reported Forward Exam score was above the state in both years. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (28.38%), highest per-student spending ($13,681), and lowest student-teacher ratio (13.9). Pleasant Prairie Elementary, the largest school at 542 students, posted a 56.20% overall average, slightly above the state but mixed: four of eight reported rows above the state in 2025–26. Whittier Elementary finished at 49.56%, below the state, with only two of eight rows above state and a weak Science score of 35.82%. However, Whittier Elementary has the best attendance: 9.4% chronic absenteeism, versus 27.6% for the district and 17.3% statewide.

Rank percentiles slipped for all three schools from 2024–25 to 2025–26: Prairie Lane Elementary 94 to 89, Pleasant Prairie Elementary 61 to 51, and Whittier Elementary 44 to 36. Subject bright spots differ: Prairie Lane Elementary is strong in Social Studies and ELA; Pleasant Prairie Elementary is relatively strong in Social Studies and Science but saw 5th grade Math fall to 44.83%; Whittier Elementary’s bright spots are 5th grade ELA and Math, while Science is consistently weak. Bottom line: Prairie Lane Elementary is the clear academic standout, Pleasant Prairie Elementary is a solid middle performer, and Whittier Elementary needs academic support despite excellent attendance.
