How Does Sun Prairie Compare?

We're sure you'll hear about how Sun Prairie stacks up against other Dane County school districts.  That's nice, but it's hard to compare school districts the size of Madison, or the size of Deerfield to Sun Prairie.


But...how does Sun Prairie stack up against similar-sized school districts?
We scanned the web and, where the information was readily available, we have captured the amount of Education Jobs Fund dollars the district obtained, the 2010-11 tax levy, the 2010-11 tax levy increase, and the 2010 mill rate.  Please note that other than Sun Prairie, district enrollment numbers are the most current available from DPI.


Items of note:

• Hudson went with a 0% increase, while West Allis actually reduced their tax levy a bit.
• MANY school districts dipped into fund balance to reduce the tax levy.
• Sun Prairie currently stands with the highest mill rate.

Disclaimer:  This information was the latest available to the public.  Some school districts have not held their Annual Electors Meetings yet.  Therefore these numbers could change.
