N-Gage Academy

Public, Charter Grades 6-12

Summary

N-Gage Academy is a very small public school serving grades 6–12 in Necedah, Wisconsin, with just 32 students, located at the same address as Necedah High within the Necedah Area School District.

Attendance is the school's clearest strength: its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate of 3.1% is the lowest among nearby schools and well below the district (5.3%) and state (17.3%) rates. One watch item is the dropout rate, which rose to 3.7% — the highest in the local comparison group and above the district (1.9%) and state (1.1%) — after four straight years at 0.0%; with only 32 students, a single student can move this figure. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch also shifted sharply, falling from 62.5% in 2023–2024 to 9.38% in 2024–2025, closer to Necedah High (2.51%) and New Lisbon Junior High/High (6.4%) than to nearby charter and alternative schools. N-Gage spends $15,150 per student, less than most nearby schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.9.

Academically, results vary widely by grade. The 2025–2026 8th-grade class is a bright spot: 75% proficiency in ELA, 62.5% in math and science, and 87.5% in social studies — above the district, the state, and nearby schools like Royall High and iLEAD Charter School. Seventh grade is much weaker, with 16.67% in ELA (below the district, state, and all nearby schools) and 33.33% in math. Sixth grade is mixed at 33.33% in both subjects. No graduation rate or 10th-grade ACT/Forward results are reported for N-Gage, so its high school performance can't be fully compared. Because enrollment is tiny, percentages can swing dramatically from one student to the next.
