In 2025-26 it ranks 433rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — 58th percentile, 3 stars — placing it slightly below its own district's standing (4 stars, 71st percentile). Its trajectory is one of advance then slight retreat: after a 2-star, mid-40s-percentile stretch through 2016-17 and again in 2020-21, it climbed to a stable 3-star 64th–66th percentile from 2021-22 through 2023-24, then drifted back to 57th–58th in the two most recent years.
Green Tree serves the highest-poverty population of its local peer group: 42.51% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, versus 41.45% at Fair Park Elementary, 35.29% at McLane Elementary, 34.67% at Decorah Elementary, and 26.8% at Jackson Elementary. Every out-of-district neighbor is lower still, from Sugar Maple Nature School (26.76%) to Addison Elementary (12.7%). Its academic rank sits at the bottom of the West Bend group — McLane 75th percentile, Jackson 76th, Fair Park 66th, Decorah 60th, Green Tree 58th — and trails out-of-district neighbors by more: Slinger Elementary 99th, Farmington Elementary 97th, Allenton Elementary 95th, Addison 87th, Kewaskum Elementary 79th.

Instructionally, the school has clear strengths and one clear weakness. Fourth-grade social studies is its signature result: 73.97% proficient, essentially level with the district (73.89%) and 8.5 points above the state (65.51%), holding in the low 70s for four straight years; fourth-grade science (60.27%) also beats the state. Third-grade math is the drag at 51.39%, below both district (59.88%) and state (54.75%) and down from 55.22% in 2023-24. Chronic absenteeism is a strength at 5.7%, versus 8.8% district-wide and 17.3% statewide; only Jackson (1.0%) and McLane (2.3%) are better locally. Results vary widely by student group — students with disabilities rank 83rd percentile (4 stars), low-income students 33rd (2 stars).
