Summary

Howard Elementary is a public elementary school located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 257. It is part of the Howard-Suamico School District, which is ranked 84 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Howard Elementary has shown fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 227 to 885 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades was generally higher than the state average, but lower than the Howard-Suamico School District average. However, the school has shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, particularly Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking 94th and 56th out of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively, in these categories.

Despite the higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes at Howard Elementary, the school's academic performance has not been as strong as some of the nearby schools, such as Forest Glen Elementary and Meadowbrook Elementary, which have higher statewide rankings and better test scores. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance compared to its peers.

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
