Summary

Nicolet Elementary Community School is a PK–5 school in Green Bay, WI, serving 312 students in the Green Bay Area Public School District, which ranks 383rd of 432 Wisconsin districts (11th percentile, 1 star). Nicolet itself ranked 944th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–26 — 9th percentile, 0 stars — and has hovered between the 7th and 11th percentile for several years, after being even lower in the mid-to-late 2010s.

On the 2025–26 Forward Exam, Nicolet was below the district and state in every reported subject and grade, averaging roughly 22% proficient versus about 40% for the district and about 55% for the state. The lowest points were 3rd grade math (13.33%) and 3rd grade ELA (13.95%); the strongest areas, 4th and 5th grade math and 4th grade social studies, still sat around 25–27%. About 88.46% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024–25, while the school spent $19,660 per student and had a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6. Chronic absenteeism improved sharply, from 35.0% in 2023–24 to 27.4% in 2024–25 — close to the district average but still well above the state's 17.3%.

Nearby comparisons are informative. Eisenhower Elementary posts very similar results despite lower poverty (77.35%), lower spending ($15,888), and larger classes, suggesting extra resources alone have not shifted achievement. Sullivan Elementary, 0.7 miles away, is mixed: Nicolet is stronger in 4th and 5th grade math, weaker in 3rd grade ELA. Martin Elementary and Elmore Elementary show noticeably higher proficiency nearby, and Fort Howard Elementary has almost identical poverty but more resources and better proficiency in most areas, though worse attendance (38.4%). Within two miles, the district spans Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners at the 100th percentile and Aldo Leopold Community School K-8 at the 64th. Nicolet has improved attendance but still needs substantial academic acceleration.
