Summary:
ZIP code 54956 in Neenah, Wisconsin contains exactly one high school in the provided data: Neenah High, a grades 9–12 school in the Neenah Joint School District with 2,013 students at 500 Rocket Way. Because it is the only high school in this ZIP code, it represents the entire high-school picture for the area, and its results are best compared against district and state averages rather than against another local school.
Academically, Neenah High performs above the Wisconsin average in all four tested subjects in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Math is the standout: 53.97% proficiency in 2025–2026 versus the state's 42.93%, an advantage of about 11 points, and essentially unchanged from the prior year. Science also improved, rising from 50.47% to 51.67% and widening its lead over the state from +7.05 to +8.47 points. English Language Arts and social studies remain above state averages but have slipped year over year: ELA fell from 57.94% to 54.18%, and social studies fell from 55.77% to 50.31%, cutting the school's edge over the state in those subjects. Graduation and dropout outcomes are strong — a 95.8% graduation rate (matching the district and above the state's 92.0%) and a 0.8% dropout rate, below the state's 1.1%.
The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism at 18.5%, higher than both the district's 13.1% and the state's 17.3%. The school has also held a 4-star rating for three straight years, but its percentile has declined from 87 in 2023–2024 to 77 in 2024–2025 and 73 in 2025–2026 — a relative slide even though the raw rank numbers are not directly comparable because the 2025–2026 denominator is larger. For additional context, 28.66% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $12,670, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.5; the dataset offers no state benchmarks for these measures, so they are best read as background. In short, this is a large, above-state-performing high school with particular strength in math and science, solid graduation results, and a real challenge in attendance.
