Summary
Elmore Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 615 Ethel Ave on Green Bay's near-west side, serving 246 students as part of the Green Bay Area Public School District. In 2025–26 it ranked 820th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (21st percentile, 1 star) — above its own district's percentile but below the state middle. About 76.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's rank has stayed between the 14th and 30th percentile every year for a decade, so its results are persistent rather than a one-year blip.
Two things stand out when comparing Elmore with nearby schools. First, attendance: 15.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, better than the state average of 17.3% and far better than the district's 27.3%. Neighbors serving similar populations do much worse — Fort Howard (38.4%), Lincoln (26.6%), Howe (24.8%) and Beaumont (22.5%) — while Chappell (11.0%) and Aldo Leopold (8.7%) are lower. Second, resources: Elmore spends $17,996 per student with 11.5 students per teacher, leaner than most nearby schools, which spend roughly $19,400–$22,400. Meanwhile Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners, a magnet program where only 14.7% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, ranks 2nd in the state — a very different student population.
Inside the school, results follow a clear pattern: 4th grade beats the district in all four tested subjects, with ELA at 53.9%, essentially at the state figure, while 5th grade trails in every subject — math at 21.6% versus 35.8% district and 51.8% state. English language learner students ranked in the 87th percentile statewide in 2023–24, far above the school overall, though that figure has swung widely from year to year. Because each grade has only about 25–45 tested students, small changes can shift percentages noticeably.
