Fox Prairie Elementary has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 30% of Wisconsin elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the Forward Exam is generally above the Stoughton Area School District and Wisconsin state averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school has faced challenges with English Language Learner (ELL) student performance and chronic absenteeism in recent years. The school's student population is diverse, with a significant percentage of White and Multi-racial students, and a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state.

While Fox Prairie Elementary's performance is solid, the nearby Forest Edge Elementary and Brooklyn Elementary schools, which are part of the Oregon School District, consistently outperform Fox Prairie Elementary and the Stoughton Area School District on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and rankings. Continued focus on addressing the school's challenges, while building on its strengths, could help Fox Prairie Elementary further improve and better serve its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
