Howard Elementary

Summary:

Howard Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Howard-Suamico School District. While the school's overall academic performance is above the state average, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the district, such as Forest Glen Elementary and Meadowbrook Elementary.

One of Howard Elementary's key strengths is its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students compared to nearby schools. The school also excels in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) and special education student populations, ranking among the top schools in Wisconsin in these areas. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an issue the school and district should address.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Green Bay Area Public School District, the performance gap is more pronounced. Schools like Kennedy Elementary, Elmore Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary have significantly lower academic achievement and higher rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism compared to Howard Elementary, highlighting the importance of socioeconomic and demographic factors in a school's performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote 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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
