Sunnyside Elementary

Summary:

Sunnyside Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sobieski, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 497 students. It is part of the Pulaski Community School District, which is ranked 110 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunnyside Elementary has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 285 (2018-2019) and 642 (2022-2023) out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's performance on the Forward Exam was generally above the Pulaski Community School District and Wisconsin state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5. However, in the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 school years, Sunnyside's performance was below the district and state averages in several grade levels and subject areas. The school has shown strong performance in serving its special education students, ranking in the top 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools in this category for the past three school years, but its performance for low socioeconomic status students has been more mixed.

Sunnyside Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Pulaski Community School District, such as Lannoye Elementary and Glenbrook Elementary. However, Sunnyside's performance lags behind some of the higher-performing elementary schools in the neighboring Howard-Suamico School District, such as Suamico Elementary and Forest Glen Elementary. Additionally, Sunnyside Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 1.9% in 2018-2019 to 14.0% in 2020-2021, before declining to 8.1% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting the school's academic performance.

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.
