The Sun Prairie Area School District (SPASD) is located in Dane County, Wisconsin, United States, to the northeast of Madison, Wisconsin. It serves the area around Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Its district office is located at 501 S. Bird Street, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and Bradford Saron is the current acting District Administrator. Sun Prairie Area School district started in 1975

The system, which as of the 2014-15 school year has over 7,800 enrolled students[1] consists of nine elementary schools, two middle schools, an upper middle school, a single high school, and an alternative learning school.[2] Which elementary school (C.H. Bird, Creekside, Eastside, Horizon, Northside, Royal Oaks or Westside) a child attends is determined by geographic proximity.[3] The same sort of determining factor applies to the two Middle schools (Patrick Marsh and Prairie View), but all public school students attend Cardinal Heights Upper Middle School for grades 8-9 and Sun Prairie High School for grades 10-12.

Because of severe overcrowding, construction recently ended on a new high school located to the southeast of the former SPHS.[4] The new high school, opened in the fall of 2010, and graduated its first class of seniors in 2011.[5] It accommodates students in grades 10, 11, and 12, while Cardinal Heights Upper Middle School (housed in the former Sun Prairie High School building) serves students in 8th and 9th grades. An Alternative Learning Center, formerly known as Sun Prairie School of Alternative Resources (SOAR) is also operated in the former junior high school, and is known as Prairie Phoenix Academy. The current high school sports team mascot is the cardinal. Sun Prairie Area School District is ranked 8 out of 10 from Great Schools. This rating is based on the schools' test scores.
