Elementary Schools in Green Bay Area Public School District

The Green Bay Area Public School District operates 31 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 368 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.

A few schools stand out in the district, including the Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin with exceptional test scores. Another high-performing school is Wequiock Elementary, a small school with very high proficiency rates. In contrast, many other schools in the district struggle, with less than 20% of students proficient in certain subjects.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, which appear to be correlated with socioeconomic status. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and significant variation in per-student spending and resources, suggesting the need for more equitable allocation of funding and support to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
