Summary

Pioneer Elementary is a K–5 public school in the Ashwaubenon School District serving 495 students at 1360 Ponderosa Ave in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It ranks 322nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 69th percentile, 3 stars — placing it in the top third of the state and ahead of its own district, which sits at the 59th percentile. Pioneer has been strong but has cooled from its peak: it was at the 80th percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, slipped to 74th–77th in 2022–2024, and landed at 69th–70th in the last two years.

Fourth grade is the standout. In 2025–2026, 4th-grade ELA proficiency was 75.73 (about 22 points above the state), math 64.08 (about 11 points above), social studies 83.50 (about 18 points above), and science 67.96 (about 14.5 points above). Fifth-grade ELA and math also beat district and state averages. Third-grade math is the main soft spot at 47.22, below both the district (49.74) and the state (54.75). Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 7.2% in 2024–2025, versus 12.8% in the district and 17.3% statewide. About 29.09% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $13,197 — the lowest among the nearby schools listed.

Compared with nearby options, Pioneer outranks Valley View Elementary (51st percentile) in the same district and posts much higher 4th-grade ELA, math, social studies, and science results. Westwood Elementary in the West De Pere School District ranks higher overall at the 79th percentile and is stronger in 3rd-grade ELA and math, but Pioneer leads in 4th-grade ELA (75.73 vs. 66.30) and is about even in 4th-grade social studies and science. Pioneer also outperforms most nearby Green Bay Area Public School District schools in 4th-grade ELA, social studies, and science. Among student groups, boys rank higher than girls in effectiveness (80th vs. 57th percentile), English learners ranked 73rd percentile, special education slipped to 65th, and low-income results have swung widely (81st, then 39th, then 59th).
