Summary:
Menasha, Wisconsin is served by seven schools in the Menasha Joint School District — five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, plus a PK–8 virtual school — with a combined enrollment of about 3,121 students. The district as a whole ranks 333 of 432 in Wisconsin for 2025–2026, at the 23rd percentile with 1 star, but that district-level snapshot masks wide differences among the individual schools.
Fox Valley Virtual School is the standout, ranked 442 of 1,039 (57th percentile, 3 stars) — the only 3-star school in the list — with 7th grade ELA proficiency of 90.0% against the state's 55.33%. Clovis Grove Elementary is the strongest traditional elementary, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars, beating the district in every reported 2025–2026 subject and improving from the 29th percentile the year before. Menasha High shows a striking disconnect: a 95.4% graduation rate, above the state's 92.0%, alongside test proficiency below state in every subject and declining from the prior year.
Chronic absenteeism is generally better than the state's 17.3%: Banta Bilingual Elementary is lowest at 4.4% and Fox Valley Virtual at 8.0%, while Maplewood Middle is the only school above the state at 17.9%. Gegan Elementary has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (70.54%) and the second-highest spending ($20,265) yet ranks at the 24th percentile with 1 star, showing that spending and need do not straightforwardly predict outcomes. Finally, small schools carry caution: Fox Valley Virtual (90 students) and Banta (184) post volatile grade-level results — Banta's 3rd grade math is 53.33% but 4th grade math only 22.22%.
