Summary

Coolidge Elementary is a K–4 neighborhood school at 321 Alcott Dr in Neenah, WI, serving 329 students as part of the Neenah Joint School District. For 2025–2026 it ranks 296th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 72nd percentile, earning 4 stars — which places it above the district's own 68th percentile (3 stars) and makes it a solidly above-average school. Its history has been more uneven than that current rating suggests: Coolidge reached the 96th percentile (5 stars) in 2018–2019, dipped to the 63rd percentile in 2020–2021, rebounded to the 85th percentile in 2021–2022, and has since settled in the low-to-mid 70s. It slipped slightly from 237th (77th percentile) last year to 296th (72nd) this year.

Academically, Coolidge scored above the state in all six tested areas in 2025–2026 and above the district in English/language arts and 3rd-grade math, averaging about 66% proficient versus 55% statewide. Within its Neenah peer group, however, it isn't the top performer: Lakeview Elementary (93rd percentile), ACE Alliance Charter Elementary (88th) and Tullar Elementary (83rd) generally score higher, while Spring Road Elementary (69th) is close behind and Horace Mann Elementary and Taft Elementary trail far behind. The clearest academic gap is 4th-grade science, where Coolidge has trailed the district for three straight years even as its own scores improved; social studies has also been slightly below district level in two of the past three years.

Attendance is a relative strength: 9.0% chronic absenteeism versus 13.1% district-wide and 17.3% statewide, though Lakeview, ACE, Tullar and Spring Road are lower still. Coolidge also serves more economic need than several higher-ranked peers — 39.51% free/reduced lunch, roughly double Tullar's rate — and its low-income subgroup results have climbed to the 83rd percentile, while female students rank consistently high. Male-student and special education ranks have slipped in 2025–2026, though special education remains above the state median. Spending is $13,658 per student with a favorable 12.8 student-teacher ratio. Coolidge clearly outpaces the Menasha Joint School District schools, including Clovis Grove Elementary, Butte des Morts Elementary and Banta Bilingual Elementary, as well as the higher-poverty Neenah schools.
