Southside Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Sparta Area School District school district, located in Sparta, WI with about 250 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
