Summary

Kegonsa Elementary is a K–5 school with 304 students in Stoughton, Wisconsin, part of the Stoughton Area School District, which ranks 133rd of 432 Wisconsin districts. In 2025–2026, Kegonsa ranked 394th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — 62nd percentile, 3 stars. That reflects a long climb: the school sat at the 22nd percentile in 2015–2016, peaked at the 73rd percentile in 2022–2023, slipped to the 48th percentile in 2024–2025, and rebounded this year.

Within its own district, Kegonsa currently ranks lowest of the three elementaries. Fox Prairie Elementary sits at the 74th percentile with 4 stars and Sandhill Elementary at the 81st percentile with 4 stars, while the district overall is in the 69th percentile. Nearby Oregon School District schools generally rank higher — Netherwood Knoll Elementary (93rd percentile), Brooklyn Elementary (87th), and Prairie View Elementary (83rd) — and Waubesa Intermediate (80th) is above Kegonsa as well. Kegonsa ranks above Edgerton Community Elementary (65th), Yahara Elementary (57th), and Wisconsin Virtual Academy K-8 (WIVA) (17th). Attendance is a clear strength: 8.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, below the district's 13.5% and the state's 17.3%, and lower than both Fox Prairie (13.6%) and Sandhill (16.4%).

Test results are uneven. Kegonsa shines in 4th-grade social studies (83.33%, the highest among the three Stoughton elementaries and above district and state) and 4th-grade science (66.67%), and its 3rd-grade math score of 70% beats district and state averages. But 4th- and 5th-grade English language arts and 5th-grade math trail its same-district peers. The school also stands out for its work with particular student groups: special education students rank at the 77th percentile (4 stars), and low-income students rebounded to the 58th percentile from the 24th percentile a year earlier. About 26.64% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, spending is $15,603 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.0. The takeaway for families: strong attendance, science, social studies, and 3rd-grade math, with room to grow in upper-grade reading and 5th-grade math.

Kegonsa is the place that I WANT my children to be at. The staff cares about all kids! Close Quote

Thursday, December 5, 2013

this school allowed my 6 year old daughter to get on the wrong bus..The bus took her home, when she was supposed to go to daycare after. I dont get home till 6pm, i found my daughter after searching for her for what seemed like an eternity at a random neighbors house..! this was after i went to the daycare to retrieve my child and was told she was not there and they didnt know her whereabouts!! I am outraged at this entire situation.. She is 6 years old! why was there no supervision for my child? Why they allow a child of this age to tell them where she is going, and or not question her getting on the wrong bus? I ALWAYS CALL the school to notify them to bring her home if i am home, I DID NOT call them or anyone else to say send her home! I was in complete panic looking and searching for my 6yr old, I can not beleive that this could happen at an elementary school..These teachers are supposed to be watching these kids and directing them to go to the CORRECT destination!
