Dr Rosa Minoka-Hill School

Dr Rosa Minoka-Hill School is a small K–12 alternative school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving 83 students as part of the Green Bay Area Public School District.

The most important thing to understand about this school is attendance. Roughly two-thirds to four-fifths of students are chronically absent in every recent year — 64.9% in 2024–25 and 81.2% in 2023–24, versus 27.3% district-wide and 17.3% statewide. Even the school's best recent year (63.9% in 2022–23) was more than triple the state figure. Nearly every other outcome at the school flows from this.

English language arts is the one bright spot on tests: 25% of 10th graders reached proficiency on the ACT ELA exam in 2025–26, below the district's 31.4% and the state's 48.5%, but a real result. Every other reported subject — ACT math and science, plus 7th and 8th grade Forward Exam subjects — came in at 0%. Graduation, however, has improved markedly, from 14.2% in 2018–19 to 53.3% in 2024–25, and the dropout rate fell from 18.6% in 2020–21 to 7.9%; both still trail the district's 86.5% and 2.0%. A 4.5-to-1 student–teacher ratio gives the school far more adult support per student than a typical classroom.

Among nearby alternatives, its graduation rate is roughly eight times Brown County Institute of Learning's 6.6%, and its dropout rate is less than one-seventh of that school's 57.5%, while chronic absenteeism at the two is similar. Bay View shares the same street address and appears to be a co-located program with older, quite different figures. Oneida Nation School enrolls 457 students at a 14.7-to-1 ratio. A reported $80,957 per-student spending figure for 2021–22 looks like a change in reporting basis, not a real budget event. With only 83 students, single-year numbers swing easily, so the improving multi-year trend is the more meaningful signal.
