The city of Neenah, Wisconsin is home to 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Neenah Joint School District. The district is ranked 130 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out in the district, including Lakeview Elementary, ranked 31 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools with a 5-star rating, and Clayton Elementary, ranked 97 out of 1,044 with a 5-star rating. Both schools demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with test scores well above the district and state averages.

The data also reveals some challenges within the district. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, and there is a wide range of free and reduced lunch rates across the schools, from 16.18% at Lakeview Elementary to 68.78% at Hoover Elementary, suggesting varying levels of economic diversity. Additionally, the significant differences in academic performance and resource allocation (as indicated by the spending per student) across the schools may raise questions about equity and the district's efforts to ensure all students have access to high-quality education.
