Summary:
ZIP code 53590 covers Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, where nine elementary schools — all serving grades PK–5 and all part of the Sun Prairie Area School District — enroll 3,659 students combined, ranging from 333 at C H Bird Elementary to 472 at Token Springs Elementary. The district overall ranks 288 of 432 in Wisconsin (33rd percentile, 2 stars), but results at individual schools vary far more than that single rating suggests.
The strongest performers are Eastside Elementary (301 of 1,039, 71st percentile, 4 stars), Horizon Elementary (318 of 1,039, 69th percentile, 3 stars), and Token Springs Elementary (332 of 1,039, 68th percentile, 3 stars). Eastside and Horizon both average about 65% proficiency across reported Forward Exam rows, and Eastside has earned 4 stars in all three years of rank history while posting the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 5.7%. Horizon claims the highest single test result here — 3rd-grade Math at 80.7% — while Token Springs has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (12.71%), the second-lowest absenteeism (6.8%), the lowest per-student spending ($14,859), and the highest student-teacher ratio (14.6). Royal Oaks Elementary sits mid-pack at the 50th percentile.
At the other end, Westside Elementary (14th percentile, 1 star) has the lowest proficiency (30.33%), the highest absenteeism (26.4%), the highest free/reduced lunch rate (66.13%), and the highest spending ($19,902). C H Bird Elementary (19th percentile) and Creekside Elementary (28th percentile) also rank in the bottom third, as do Northside Elementary and Meadow View Elementary. Notably, higher spending and smaller classes do not track with higher scores here, and several lower-ranked schools improved year over year while a few top performers slipped.
