Summary:

ZIP code 54171 in Sobieski, Wisconsin is served by a single elementary school, Sunnyside Elementary, which enrolls 497 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Pulaski Community School District, a district ranked 108 of 432 in Wisconsin at the 75th percentile with 4 stars.

Because there is only one elementary school here, families have no local peer comparison, so the most useful benchmarks come from the district and the state — and Sunnyside Elementary compares well. Its statewide rank climbed from 355 of 1,061 in 2023–24 to 172 of 1,039 in 2025–26, moving from the 67th to the 83rd percentile and from 3 stars to 4 stars — a 183-position gain in two years. In 2025–26 Forward Exam results, all eight reported subject and grade tests exceeded the state average, and seven of eight topped the district as well. Fourth-grade Social Studies stood out at 85.53% and fourth-grade Science at 77.63%, both far above district and state figures. Math in grades 4 and 5 rebounded sharply from below-state results in 2024–25 (51.81% and 51.56%) to above district and state in 2025–26 (64.47% and 65.48%). Grade 3 math slipped from 80.52% to 72.37% but remains well above district and state, and these are different cohorts rather than the same students. Grade 5 ELA, at 60.71%, is the one test above the state but below the district.

Chronic absenteeism is a notable strength at 5.7%, roughly half the district's 11.4% and about one-third 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. The record lacks subgroup breakdowns, so equity gaps cannot be assessed, and no 2023–24 test scores are available to tie directly to the early rank improvement.
