Summary:
The city of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin is home to three elementary schools: Pleasant Prairie Elementary, Whittier Elementary, and Prairie Lane Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Kenosha School District.
Among the three schools, Prairie Lane Elementary stands out as the top performer. It is ranked 94th out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and earns a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Prairie Lane Elementary boasts consistently high test scores, with over 80% of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam. In contrast, the other two schools in the district rank significantly lower, at 446th and 379th, respectively.
The data also reveals that Prairie Lane Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and more efficient resource allocation, with a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the other two schools. These factors likely contribute to the school's exceptional academic performance. While the reasons for the substantial gaps between Prairie Lane Elementary and its peers warrant further investigation, the data highlights the need for the Kenosha School District to address systemic challenges and apply successful strategies across all its schools.
