Summary

Howe Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay Area Public School District, serving 340 students in grades PK-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Howe Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.38% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.12% in the district and 52.14% statewide. The school's performance in Mathematics is also very low, with only 7.32% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to 39.49% in the district and 52.58% statewide. Howe Elementary also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.7% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby schools in the Green Bay Area Public School District also struggle academically, the Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners, which is also in the same district, is a high-performing school, ranking among the top 5 elementary schools in Wisconsin. This highlights the significant disparities in educational outcomes within the same district. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the challenges at Howe Elementary suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices and support systems to address these persistent challenges.
