Summary:
ZIP code 54303 in Green Bay, Wisconsin contains eight public schools serving about 2,796 students — six elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The defining feature of this area is that it straddles two districts: seven of the eight schools belong to the Green Bay Area Public School District, ranked in the bottom 11% of Wisconsin districts, while one school belongs to the Howard-Suamico School District, ranked in the top 15%. That boundary line shapes nearly every difference between schools here.
Howard Elementary is the clear standout: the only 4-star school in the ZIP, at the 81st percentile, and above the state average in all six reported proficiency measures. Two other schools deserve attention. Chappell Elementary posts the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP (11.0%, versus 17.3% statewide) and beats the state in all four 4th grade subjects, despite the lowest per-student spending here ($15,756). West High, the only high school, graduates 87.2% of students — slightly above its district but 4.8 points below the state — with a 2.1% dropout rate and 44.1% absenteeism, though ACT proficiency rose in all four subjects.
Across the ZIP, average poverty is high (72.1% free/reduced lunch) and average chronic absenteeism is 29.6%, far above the state's 17.3%; only Chappell (11.0%) and Elmore Elementary (15.5%) are at or below the state rate, while Fort Howard Elementary (38.4%) and Katherine Johnson Academy of Enriched Virtual Learning (47.3%) are highest. In 4th grade, the ZIP average trails the state in every subject, and grade 5 is weaker still. Grade 8 math is a chokepoint: Franklin Middle reports 11.9% and Katherine Johnson 18.18%.
