Summary
Menominee Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 573 students in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, located at 915 Hazel Street and part of the Oshkosh Area School District. It is the largest elementary school in the nearby comparison set, and its 2025–2026 statewide rank is 852nd of 1,039 — 18th percentile, or 1 star.
Notably, Menominee spends $18,935 per student in 2024–2025, more than any nearby school, including Roosevelt Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Read Elementary, and its student-teacher ratio of 10.6 is lower than most neighbors. Even so, 2025–2026 Forward Exam proficiency is below district and state levels in every listed subject and grade, averaging about 35.7% proficient across the eight results, compared with about 46.1% for the district and 54.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was 19.1% in 2024–2025, above the district's 16.9% and the state's 17.3%, though below Read Elementary's 23.6%. About 68.41% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, among the highest locally.
The school's recent history shows a decline: after a stronger 2023–2024 (39th percentile, 2 stars), results fell to the 17th–18th percentile in the last two years, with 5th-grade math proficiency dropping from 62.5% in 2023–2024 to 27.27% in 2025–2026, the lowest among nearby schools. Achievement tracks closely with poverty and attendance across the area: Oakwood Elementary (91st percentile, 14.66% free/reduced lunch, 2.9% chronic absenteeism) and Traeger Elementary (77th percentile) look very different from Menominee, while Menominee resembles other high-poverty Oshkosh elementaries such as Oaklawn Elementary, E Cook Elementary, and Shapiro STEM Academy. Effectiveness rankings also vary by student group, with some groups ranking above the school's overall figure.
