Stoner Prairie Elementary

Stoner Prairie Elementary serves 385 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — a rating MySchoolScout labels Exceptional — placing it first among Fitchburg's three public elementary schools and among the strongest K–5 programs in the state. The data puts that label in concrete terms.

Stoner Prairie ranks 23rd out of 1,099 Wisconsin elementary schools and outperforms 99% of all 2,102 public schools statewide. Academic performance scores an 8.6 out of 10, and growth — measuring student progress over time — scores even higher at 9.6. That growth figure matters: it captures momentum, not just arrival point, and a 9.6 suggests this school is consistently moving students forward at an above-average rate.

Class size adds a structural advantage. At 11.7 students per teacher, Stoner Prairie keeps ratios tight — well below what most Wisconsin public elementary schools offer. That means teachers can work with individual students in ways larger classes don't allow.

For families in Fitchburg weighing their options, this school distinguishes itself on both achievement and academic momentum, two factors that tend to compound over a student's elementary years.
