Summary

Gegan Elementary is a PK–4 school in Menasha, Wisconsin, serving 258 students as part of the Menasha Joint School District, which ranks 333 of 432 Wisconsin districts at the 23rd percentile with 1 star. Gegan itself ranked 794 of 1,039 schools in 2025–26, placing it at the 24th percentile with 1 star. That fits a long pattern: the school has sat in the bottom quartile in most years, with a single high point in 2022–23 at the 36th percentile and 2 stars.

Compared with nearby schools, Gegan looks similar to Banta Bilingual Elementary (22nd percentile) and Butte des Morts Elementary (24th percentile), and below Clovis Grove Elementary, Fox Valley Virtual School, and Spring Road Elementary. Notably, Gegan spends $20,265 per student with a 9.6 student-teacher ratio — both more favorable than many neighboring schools — and 70.54% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism has improved sharply, from 28.7% in 2022–23 to 12.6% in 2024–25, now better than district (14.6%) and state (17.3%) averages.

Academically, 2025–26 Forward Exam proficiency trailed district and state in every reported subject. Science was the weakest area at 32.26% in 4th grade, versus 41.71% district and 53.46% state; 3rd grade math (40.00%) and 4th grade math (38.71%) were also below both. The strongest relative results were 4th grade ELA (48.39%) and 4th grade social studies (54.84%), each within about a point of the district. School-effectiveness results for specific student groups vary more than the overall rank suggests: African American students ranked at the 78th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, and English learners have had high-percentile years. Low-income and white student groups ranked near the 17th percentile. Overall, the school improved slightly over 2024–25 but remains below state averages, with science and math the clearest areas to watch.
