Elementary Schools in Prairie Farm Public School District

The Prairie Farm Public School District in Wisconsin has only one elementary school, Prairie Farm Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and overall rating over the past few years, dropping from 362 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 694 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024, and its overall rating by SchoolDigger has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5.

Academically, Prairie Farm Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics have generally been lower than the state averages, with the exception of 3rd-grade Mathematics, where the school's proficiency rate was higher. The school's 4th and 5th-grade ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates were particularly low, ranging from 35.71% to 50%, compared to the state averages of 53.42% to 56.58%. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 50.31% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Prairie Farm Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,405, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be focusing on providing additional resources and support for its students, but the effectiveness of this spending in improving academic outcomes would need to be further examined.
