Summary

Preble High is a grades 9–12 school at 2222 Deckner Ave in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and with 2,149 students it is by far the largest high school in its area, part of the Green Bay Area Public School District. It is also the most resource-lean of the area's traditional high schools: its student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is higher than Southwest High (15.0), West High (13.3), East High (15.1), West De Pere High (15.9), De Pere High (15.7) and Ashwaubenon High (15.9), and its per-student spending of $13,750 is the lowest among nearby schools that report it. About 47.65% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Graduation is a strength. Preble's 92.4% graduation rate beats the district's 86.5% and matches the state's 92.0%, and it is the best among the district's traditional high schools (Southwest 88.7%, West 87.2%, East 87.0%). Its 1.4% dropout rate is also the lowest of those four, though nearby suburban districts are near zero at 0.1%. Chronic absenteeism is the bigger concern: 34.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, worse than the district's 27.3% and far above the state's 17.3%, but better than West (44.1%) and East (45.6%).

On 2025–2026 tests, Preble scored above its district average in every subject but below the state in every subject: Social Studies 38.06%, English Language Arts 33.2%, Mathematics 30.16% and Science 29.82%. It outperformed East and West in all four subjects and Southwest in Social Studies and Science, but nearby suburban schools are far ahead (De Pere: Social Studies 71.26%, Math 63.64%; West De Pere: Math 68.05%), in districts with much lower poverty and absenteeism. Effectiveness also varies sharply by student group — Asian, Hispanic, English learner and special education students have improved recently, while low-income students rank at the 12th percentile, the school's most persistent challenge.

Open Quote Great school with dedicated staff. A wonderful school with many activities and sports for students. The IEP program for students who need assistance with their classes, etc....is "A" number one. Close Quote

Open Quote This school has several of the best music programs in the region, especially for vocal music and musical theatre. Because it's such a huge school, it can deliver a very wide range of AP courses. Many of the AP teachers are supurb. Close Quote
