Summary:
The 54171 zip code has only one school, Sunnyside Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Pulaski Community School District. Sunnyside Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with strong 3rd-grade assessment results but lower performance in the upper elementary grades. The school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more affluent student population, and its per-student spending of $11,054 is higher than the national average.
Sunnyside Elementary's statewide ranking among Wisconsin elementary schools has fluctuated in recent years, from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2024-2025. The school's 3rd-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, but the 4th and 5th-grade students generally performed at or below the district and state averages in both subjects. The school's 4th-grade students performed well on the Social Studies and Science assessments in 2024-2025.
With a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1, Sunnyside Elementary appears to provide a relatively small class size, which could contribute to the strong 3rd-grade assessment results. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the 2023-2024 school year may be an area of concern that requires further investigation and support for students. Overall, Sunnyside Elementary seems to be a reasonably well-performing school, with some areas of strength and some areas that may need improvement.
