Neenah Joint School District

Summary:

The Neenah Joint School District in Wisconsin consists of 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Lakeview Elementary and Clayton Elementary rank among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, with over 80% of students proficient or better in core subjects. The ACE Alliance Charter Elementary school also performs exceptionally well, with 80-90% proficiency rates in many subjects. These high-performing schools tend to have lower rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.

While some schools in the district excel, others face challenges. Hoover Elementary and Taft Elementary have lower test scores and higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the district as a whole struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement across the board.
