Summary:
The Ashwaubenon School District in Green Bay, Wisconsin operates three elementary schools serving 1,430 students: Valley View Elementary (grades K–5, 660 students), Pioneer Elementary (grades K–5, 495 students), and Cormier School and Early Learning Center (grades PK–K, 275 students). One important note for families: Cormier School and Early Learning Center serves only pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, so it has no test scores and no state ranking — not because of weak performance, but because its students are not yet in tested grades.
Among the two K–5 schools, Pioneer Elementary is the academic standout. It ranked 322 of 1,039 schools statewide for 2025–26 (69th percentile), 18 percentile points above Valley View Elementary, and was a 4-star school in both 2024–25 and 2023–24 before dipping to 3 stars in 2025–26. Pioneer Elementary beats the state in 7 of 8 tested subject-grade combinations, including 4th grade social studies at 83.5% proficient (vs. 65.51% statewide) and 4th grade science at 67.96% (vs. 53.46%). Valley View Elementary has the best attendance: a 5.6% chronic absenteeism rate, less than half the district's 12.8% and roughly one-third of the state's 17.3%. Cormier School and Early Learning Center, by contrast, posts 11.9% absenteeism while still beating district and state averages.
A few patterns are worth knowing. Social studies is the district's strength, while math is its soft spot — Pioneer Elementary's 3rd grade math (47.22%) is its only measure below the state. Science fell at every Ashwaubenon school even as the state gained 2.6 points. Notably, spending did not track achievement: Pioneer Elementary spends the least per student ($13,197) with the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (29.09%) yet posts the strongest results, while Valley View Elementary spends $14,575 with the smallest classes and the weaker academic profile of the two K–5 schools.
