Summary:
The city of Green Bay, Wisconsin is home to 7 middle schools across three different school districts: Green Bay Area Public School District, Howard-Suamico School District, and Ashwaubenon School District. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
The standout schools in the area are Bay View Middle and Lineville Intermediate, both part of the high-performing Howard-Suamico School District. These schools significantly outperform the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points higher than their peers. They also have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates and favorable student-teacher ratios.
In contrast, the schools in the Green Bay Area Public School District generally perform below the state averages, with high rates of free/reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that these schools may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that are impacting their academic performance. Additionally, there appears to be an inverse relationship between spending per student and academic performance, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes.
