Summary

Sullivan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 637 students. The school is part of the Green Bay Area Public School District, which is ranked 368 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Sullivan Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 920 and 993 out of over 1,000 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state. Sullivan Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.35% of 3rd graders, 18.6% of 4th graders, and 14.42% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 39.12%, 38.69%, and 38.28%, respectively. The school's mathematics performance is also low, with only 24.21% of 3rd graders, 15.12% of 4th graders, and 10.48% of 5th graders achieving proficiency or better, compared to the district averages of 42.98%, 39.9%, and 39.49%.

Sullivan Elementary 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. The school also has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Nearby schools in the Green Bay Area Public School District, such as Martin Elementary, Fort Howard Elementary, and Nicolet Elementary, generally perform better academically than Sullivan Elementary, with higher proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and higher SchoolDigger rankings. However, these nearby schools also serve student populations with lower percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the academic performance of these schools.
