Summary

Howard Elementary is a PK–4 school in Green Bay, WI, serving 262 students — the smallest of the three Howard-Suamico elementary schools in this comparison and the highest-poverty one, with roughly 55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. It is a 4-star school ranked 200th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (81st percentile) in 2025–2026, within the 4-star Howard-Suamico School District.

What stands out is how far Howard Elementary moved in a single year: from the 45th to the 81st percentile, the largest jump of any school nearby. All six tested subjects now exceed the state average, where a year earlier four of six fell below it. Howard beats its own district in 4th-grade math (73.33% vs. 64.20%) and leads same-district peers Forest Glen Elementary and Meadowbrook Elementary there. Most striking: low-income students rank in the 95th percentile (5 stars) statewide, and improvement spans several student groups, not just one. Compare MacArthur Elementary, a Green Bay school with nearly identical poverty (56.5%), which ranks about 32 percentile points lower.

Two things to weigh alongside that. First, Howard's rank history is volatile — it has swung between the 44th and 81st percentiles over ten years, so one strong year is not yet a trend. Second, chronic absenteeism is its steadiest weakness: 21.5% in 2024–2025, roughly double the district's 9.7% and above the state's 17.3%, versus 7.9% at Forest Glen and 9.8% at Meadowbrook. Science also trails the district every year on record, and sits 19.4 points below Forest Glen. Resources are generous — $17,042 per student and a 9.7:1 student-teacher ratio.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, August 13, 2017

Staff is poorly trained, communication between staff and parents is extremely lacking, and the general feel of the school is extraordinarily 'dumbed down'. Not at all a diverse student base. Bullying was not properly addressed when my child attended. Extremely poor school. Grateful my child transferred. Close Quote
