Better than 16% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Kennedy Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 402 students at 1754 Ninth St. in Green Bay, Wisconsin, part of the Green Bay Area Public School District. Its latest statewide rank is 876th of 1,039 elementary schools (16th percentile, 1 star), slightly above the district's 11th percentile but still in the bottom fifth of the state. Rank history shows persistent low performance, mostly between the 10th and 18th percentile over the past decade. About 70.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

On 2025–2026 Forward Exam tests, proficiency is generally below district and state levels. Math is the clearest weakness: 3rd grade math is 21.15% versus 39.30% district and 54.75% state, and 4th grade math is 23.73% versus 40.46% district and 52.87% state. There are bright spots, including 5th grade ELA at 45.83%, which beats the district's 37.31%, social studies at 44.83% (up from 37.25% and 33.33%), and science at 32.76%, rebounding from 19.44%. Nearby, MacArthur Elementary (49th percentile, less than a mile away) and Chappell Elementary both exceed 60% in 4th grade math.

Chronic absenteeism is 19.4%, better than the district's 27.3% but slightly above the state's 17.3%, and higher than Chappell Elementary (11.0%), MacArthur Elementary (13.9%), Elmore Elementary (15.5%), or the Ashwaubenon School District's Valley View Elementary (5.6%) and Pioneer Elementary (7.2%). Resources look favorable — $19,487 per student and a 10.5 student-teacher ratio — yet Chappell Elementary, Elmore Elementary, and King Elementary spend less and rank higher, suggesting resources and class size are not the main explanation. Results for student groups vary widely: African American students rank in the 75th percentile and English Language Learner students in the 54th, while special education students rank in the 7th percentile and low-income students in the 21st. The biggest opportunities are math achievement, special education and low-income outcomes, and narrowing the gap to nearby schools achieving more with similar populations.
