Summary:

ZIP code 54302 contains seven public schools — five elementary schools (Sullivan Elementary, Danz Elementary, Eisenhower Elementary, Martin Elementary, and Nicolet Elementary Community School), one middle school (Edison Middle), and one high school (Preble High) — all within the Green Bay Area Public School District, serving about 5,617 students total. The district is ranked 383 of 432 in Wisconsin, so local context matters when comparing these schools.

Martin Elementary is the clear standout: the only 2-star school in the ZIP, ranked 691 of 1,039 (33rd percentile), with an average reported proficiency of about 48.7% — more than double the roughly 20.9% average of the four lowest-performing elementaries. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (13.3%, the only school below the state's 17.3%) and the lowest elementary free/reduced-lunch rate (45.18%). Preble High posts a 92.4% graduation rate, above the district's 86.5% and the state's 92.0%, with a 1.4% dropout rate, but the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism at 34.4%. Edison Middle has a striking 0.1% dropout rate versus the district's 2.0% and the state's 1.1%.

The other four elementaries all scored below the district in every reported subject and hold 0 stars, averaging roughly 18%–22% proficiency. Danz Elementary had the lowest average, about 18.1%, including 9.59% in 5th-grade math. Nicolet Elementary Community School combines the highest poverty rate (88.46%), highest per-pupil spending ($19,660), and lowest student/teacher ratio (10.6) with 9th-percentile results, showing that resources alone don't guarantee outcomes. Even the ZIP's strongest schools mostly trail state proficiency, except Martin Elementary's 4th-grade math at 54.0% versus the state's 52.87%.
