Neoga Elementary School has shown inconsistent performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.3% to 59.6% in English Language Arts and 5.3% to 51.1% in Mathematics across different grade levels and years.

When comparing Neoga Elementary School to nearby schools, Teutopolis Grade School, located approximately 13 miles away, consistently outperforms Neoga Elementary School and the state averages in both ELA and Math assessments.
