Better than 22% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Baird Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 513 students in Green Bay, Wisconsin, within the Green Bay Area Public School District, and it lands in the bottom quarter of elementary schools statewide. In 2025–2026 it ranked 807th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 22nd percentile, with a 1-star rating. That is above its district (11th percentile), but the school has stayed in the bottom quartile for years. About 63.55% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 20.6% — better than the district's 27.3%, worse than the state's 17.3%.

Math is Baird's relative strength. In 2025–2026, Baird beat district proficiency in every tested grade — 45.71% in 3rd grade, 44.44% in 4th, and 36.67% in 5th — though all three stayed below state averages. English Language Arts was mixed, ahead of the district in 3rd and 5th grade but behind in 4th. Science is the biggest red flag: 4th grade proficiency fell from 43.08% in 2023–2024 to 29.58% and then 22.22% in 2025–2026, far below the district's 38.42% and the state's 53.46%. Social studies (46.03%) also trailed, and 5th grade math slipped from 59.38% two years earlier.

Among nearby schools, Baird outperforms Howe Elementary, Sullivan Elementary, Eisenhower Elementary, Nicolet Elementary Community School, Danz Elementary, and Wilder Elementary, but trails Martin Elementary, Red Smith K-8, McAuliffe Elementary, and Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners. Those gaps follow poverty and attendance more than spending: Red Smith K-8 spends almost the same per student with far less poverty and absenteeism, and McAuliffe Elementary spends less while achieving much more. By student group, low-income students ranked in the 17th percentile in 2025–2026, down from 35th the year before; English Language Learner and special education students scored somewhat higher than the school overall. The priorities worth asking about are the science slide, absenteeism, and support for low-income students.
