Hemlock Creek Elementary

Public Grades K-4

86^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,039 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 92% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Hemlock Creek Elementary is a K–4 school serving 822 students in De Pere, Wisconsin, part of the West De Pere School District — the largest enrollment in its nearby comparison group of De Pere, Green Bay, and Ashwaubenon schools. It ranks 86th out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars, and it has held 5-star status for three straight years after sitting in the 75th–78th percentile in 2020–21 and 2021–22.

Academically, Hemlock Creek's Forward Exam proficiency is above its district and far above the state in every subject and grade tested. Fourth-grade social studies stands out at 88.75%, the highest among nearby schools and well above the state's 65.51%, while fourth-grade math (77.5%) and science (76.25%) lead or nearly lead the local group. Third-grade results are solid but slightly behind Susie C Altmayer Elementary and Heritage Elementary. Chronic absenteeism is a real strength at 3.1% in 2024–25, compared with 4.7% districtwide and 17.3% statewide; only Heritage (1.1%) was lower locally. The school also spends $12,278 per student — the lowest in the comparison group — while producing top-decile results, a notable efficiency story.

Hemlock Creek performs in the same tier as the top De Pere School District schools — Altmayer, Heritage, and Dickinson Elementary — and clearly above Westwood Elementary, its same-district peer. Results vary by student group: female students ranked in the 95th percentile and male students in the 85th, special education students in the 79th, and low-income students climbed to the 74th percentile from the 36th the prior year. English language learners (47th percentile) and some racial and ethnic student groups trailed the school's overall standing, so parents may want to ask how those students are supported as the school sustains its momentum.
