The school has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 84 and 241 out of 612-628 Wisconsin middle schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 241 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neenah Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 100% proficiency in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 64.02% and 70.64% for the district, and 52.21% and 53.96% for the state.

Additionally, Neenah Middle School has maintained very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 1.3% over the past few years, which are significantly lower than the state and national averages.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, December 16, 2013

I sub in 10 different districts, and Shattuck is hands-down my favorite school to work at because:
1. The school has a large staff of qualified veteran teachers with a wide variety of teaching experiences and varying levels of expertise.
2. The administration trusts its teachers to create their own policies and procedures with little or no outside intervention. Shattuck follows the Common Core Standards to a “T”, but there are very few building-wide policies, such as a set way for weighting grades, or a required number of presentations that every student must give. This allows the experienced staff to make their own informed decisions related to instruction.
3. Because this is a larger school, Shattuck can offer its students many specialized services and extracurricular activities. Every wing in this building is crawling with speech pathologists, para-educators and library media specialists.
4. This is a technologically advanced school. All students and staff have their own iPads, and students are required to use Google Apps for written assignments. The school is well-equipped with MacBooks and desktop computers, and its easy to reserve a computer lab.
