Schools in Zip Code 54301

ZIP code 54301 in Green Bay contains 13 schools — six elementary, one middle, three high and three alternative — all within the Green Bay Area Public School District, together enrolling roughly 4,301 students from kindergarten through high school.

Outcomes vary dramatically inside this one ZIP code. Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners is the clear standout: ranked 2 of 1,039 schools statewide (100th percentile, 5 stars), with a simple average 2025-26 proficiency of 95.6%, chronic absenteeism of only 3.3%, and the ZIP's lowest free/reduced lunch share at 14.67%. Aldo Leopold Community School K-8 (369 of 1,039, 64th percentile) and Webster Elementary (477 of 1,039, 54th percentile) also perform well, with Webster Elementary notably strong in math. By contrast, Washington Middle (598 of 643), Howe Elementary and Doty Elementary rank near the bottom of the state, with proficiency often in the teens, and Northeast Wisconsin School of Innovation (519 of 533) posts 87.9% chronic absenteeism, an 11.4% dropout rate and ACT math at 0%.

Two patterns stand out. First, chronic absenteeism tracks closely with achievement: the lowest-absence schools generally have the strongest proficiency, while high-absence schools lag. Second, higher spending does not guarantee results — Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners spends $13,908 per student and leads the ZIP, while Langlade Elementary ($20,024) and Howe Elementary ($19,510) average 45.3% and 19.9%. The alternative schools — Dr Rosa Minoka-Hill School, Bay View and Brown County Institute of Learning — serve only 15–83 students each and face steep challenges; Brown County shows a 6.6% graduation rate and 57.5% dropout rate, while Bay View has no 2024-25 school-level data, so those figures are unknown rather than zero. John Dewey Academy of Learning is a bright spot among high schools, with a 0.0% dropout rate and ACT ELA of 46.67%, though 47.5% chronic absenteeism remains.
