Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 53590

The 53590 zip code area in Wisconsin is home to three middle schools: Prairie View Middle, Patrick Marsh Middle, and Central Heights Middle. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Sun Prairie Area School District.

Among the three schools, Patrick Marsh Middle stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 256 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools and earning a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in several test score categories, particularly in 8th grade Social Studies. Central Heights Middle also had some standout test scores, such as in 8th grade Social Studies and Science, and the lowest student-teacher ratio of the three schools at 11.6 students per teacher.

While the three schools generally performed below the district and state averages in most test score categories, they exhibited relatively similar performance on metrics like dropout rates and chronic absenteeism. The differences in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student across the schools may suggest potential equity concerns within the district, which could be an area for further investigation and improvement efforts.
