Summary

Winnequah School is a PK–5 elementary school in Monona, Wisconsin, serving 602 students as part of the Monona Grove School District, which is ranked 127th of 432 districts statewide (71st percentile, 4 stars). Winnequah itself ranked 214th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 79th percentile, with 4 stars — placing it in the top tier of nearby schools and roughly tied with Marquette Elementary.

Proficiency is strong across most tested areas. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 74.49% and 4th grade was 72.92%, while 4th grade math was 71.88%. Science (72.92%) and social studies (80.21%) were standout results compared with statewide rates of 53.46% and 65.51%. Winnequah exceeded state averages in every listed subject and beat its own district in most. Chronic absenteeism was 15.2% — below the district's 16.7% and the state's 17.3%, and lower than every nearby school with data. Notably, Winnequah spends $16,598 per student, less than every nearby school shown, while still producing high outcomes. Even Nuestro Mundo, just 0.21 miles away, posts markedly lower proficiency and higher absenteeism.

The main watch items are internal. Effectiveness rankings for special education students sit in the bottom quartile (23rd percentile, 1 star), and for low-income students have fallen to the 21st percentile (1 star) from the 51st percentile (3 stars) in 2023–2024. Fifth grade proficiency also softens relative to grades 3 and 4, though it still exceeds district and state. Overall rank has drifted from the 89th percentile in 2021–2022 to 79th now, so it is worth monitoring — but Winnequah remains a 4-star school with strong academic results.
