Summary:
ZIP code 54762 is home to a single elementary school, Prairie Farm Elementary, serving grades PK–5 with 125 students as part of the Prairie Farm Public School District in Prairie Farm, Wisconsin. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no within-ZIP comparisons to make, so the most useful benchmarks are the district and the state.
Its standout strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was just 5.4% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 9.1% and far below Wisconsin’s 17.3% — roughly a third of the state rate. English language arts is also solid: in 2025–2026, every tested grade scored above the state average, led by grade 4 at 71.43% proficient versus 53.87% statewide. Grade 4 social studies was likewise above state at 71.43% against 65.51%. The school’s state rank has climbed from 694 of 1,061 (35th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 604 of 1,039 (42nd percentile) in 2025–2026, though it remains at 2 stars and below the 50th percentile, while the district sits at the 50th percentile with 3 stars.
The clear weakness is mathematics in the upper grades. In 2025–2026, grade 4 math was 28.57% proficient and grade 5 math 23.81%, against state averages of 52.87% and 51.81%; grade 4 science was also slightly below state at 50.00% versus 53.46%. Grade 3 math, by contrast, rose to 60.00%, above the state’s 54.75%. Context matters here: enrollment is small, the student-teacher ratio is 9.3, per-student spending is $18,773, and 41.6% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Note that school and district test scores are identical in this data, so district figures simply mirror the school’s own results.
