Neoga Junior/Senior High School up 262 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 62447 has two schools serving preschool through grade 12: Neoga Elementary School serves PK–5 and enrolls 241 students, while Neoga Junior/Senior High School serves grades 6–12 and enrolls 280. Because they serve different grades, their all-grade test results are not a like-for-like comparison. The clearest concern is the high school’s math result: 24% proficient, 16 percentage points below the state, while elementary math is 3 points above the state.

Neoga Elementary stands out for its all-grade math result of 43% proficient, compared with 40% statewide, and for strong grade-level results: fifth-grade ELA was 12 points above the state, and fourth-grade math was 10 points above. Its grade 3 math result was 10 points below the state, however. At Neoga Junior/Senior High, all-grade ELA was only 1 point below the state, and eighth-grade ELA was 10 points above it; grade 6 ELA was 21 points below. The high school’s eighth-grade science result was also 5 points above the state.

Recent results improved most at the high school: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, all-grade ELA rose 12 points and math rose 6 points, though math remains well below the state. Elementary ELA rose 2 points and math 1 point; its math lead over the state stayed about the same. SchoolDigger ranked the high school at the 57th percentile and elementary at the 50th percentile in 2025–26; both rankings have fluctuated over the past three years. The schools have similar free/reduced lunch eligibility—43% at the high school and 41% at elementary in 2024–25—while their student-teacher ratios are 12.1 and 13.3, respectively. Attendance and graduation offer a positive counterpoint for the high school: chronic absenteeism was 21%, below the state’s 24%, and graduation was 94%, compared with 90% statewide.
