Summary:

Zip code 54171 in Sobieski, Wisconsin is home to exactly one public school: Sunnyside Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 497 students at 720 County Road C. It is part of the Pulaski Community School District, which ranks 108 of 432 Wisconsin districts (75th percentile) with 4 stars. Because there are no other schools in the zip code, all comparisons below are against the district and the state.

Sunnyside outperforms the state of Wisconsin in all eight tested subject and grade cells on the 2025‑26 Forward Exam, and outperforms its own district in seven of eight. Fourth‑grade social studies is the highest absolute result at 85.53% — 20.02 points above the state — followed by fourth‑grade science at 77.63% (+24.17) and third‑grade ELA at 76.32% (+24.24). School rank climbed from 355 of 1,061 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023‑24 to 172 of 1,039 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025‑26, a jump of 183 positions in one year and the school's first 4‑star year. Seven of eight test cells improved year over year, with science gaining 14.98 points and fifth‑grade math gaining 13.92.

Non‑academic measures reinforce the picture. Chronic absenteeism is 5.7% — half the district's 11.4% and roughly a third of the state's 17.3%. Free/reduced lunch is 9.26%, per‑student spending is $14,025, and the student‑teacher ratio is 13.7:1, implying roughly 36 teachers. Two items are worth watching: fifth‑grade ELA at 60.71% is the only cell below district (65.23%), though still 7.08 points above state, and third‑grade math slipped 8.15 points to 72.37% while remaining 17.62 points above state.
