Summary:

Zip code 62447 has one elementary school, Neoga Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling 241 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades IAR proficiency was 57% in English language arts (ELA) and 43% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide; it also exceeded Neoga CUSD 3 by 1 point in ELA and 9 points in math. The most important finding is that the school was above state results in both subjects, with a clearer advantage in math.

There is no meaningful local top-or-bottom school comparison because Neoga is the only school listed. Within its grade-level results, fifth-grade ELA stands out: 67% were proficient, 12 points above the state. Third-grade math is the clearest shortfall, at 39%, 10 points below the state. Fourth-grade results were above state levels in both ELA (58%, 3 points higher) and math (52%, 10 points higher), showing that results vary considerably by grade.

Scores rose in both subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, though ELA improved less than the state result: Neoga’s ELA increased 2 points, compared with 3 statewide, while math rose 1 point, about the same as the state. SchoolDigger rated Neoga at the 50th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026; its percentiles were 44 in 2023–2024 and 55 in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 24% and the district’s 18%. Context measures include a 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio and 41% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
