Bay Harbor Elementary

Summary:

Bay Harbor Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 377 students. The school is part of the Howard-Suamico School District, which is ranked 73 out of 424 districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bay Harbor Elementary consistently performs above the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with its 4th-grade students achieving significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. The school's 3rd-grade students also outperform the district and state in Mathematics. However, Bay Harbor Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 89.39% of students identifying as white, which is lower in racial diversity compared to nearby schools like Howard Elementary and Chappell Elementary. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 18.3%, which is significantly lower than some nearby schools like Keller Elementary and Howard Elementary.

While Bay Harbor Elementary has consistently ranked among the top-performing elementary schools in Wisconsin, the school has experienced a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.3% in 2018-2019 to 12.2% in 2022-2023. This trend is in contrast with the nearby Suamico Elementary, which has maintained a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.3% in 2022-2023. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to the rise in chronic absenteeism at Bay Harbor Elementary and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in addressing this issue and ensuring that all students have the opportunity to fully engage in their education.

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.

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.
