Summary:
ZIP code 54304 contains six elementary schools serving about 2,162 students across two districts — the Ashwaubenon School District and the Green Bay Area Public School District — with most schools serving grades PK–5 or K–5 and one early-learning center serving PK–K only.
Two schools stand out. Valley View Elementary is the largest school at 660 students and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 5.6% and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 40%. Its 2025–2026 English language arts average of 57.2% is above the state average of 53.2%, and its social studies score of 75.3% is well above the state's 65.5%, though its math and science results slipped this year. MacArthur Elementary is the clearest outlier: even though its district ranks near the bottom statewide, MacArthur ranks at the 49th percentile and beats the state in math (56.7% vs. 53.1%), social studies (70.0% vs. 65.5%), and science (57.5% vs. 53.5%), with chronic absenteeism of 13.9% — below the state's 17.3% and about half its district's 27.3%.
The remaining three Green Bay schools — Kennedy Elementary, Jackson Elementary, and Beaumont Elementary — carry 1-star ratings alongside higher poverty and absenteeism. Beaumont has the highest absenteeism (22.5%) and free/reduced lunch rate (72.73%); Kennedy has the lowest math average (25.4%); Jackson has the lowest ELA average (29.1%). Notably, higher spending and smaller classes don't guarantee results: Kennedy spends $19,487 per student with a 10.5 ratio, and Beaumont spends $20,224 with a 10.1 ratio, while Valley View spends $14,575 and posts stronger outcomes. Across the ZIP, low absenteeism tracks closely with stronger performance. Cormier School and Early Learning Center is PK–K only, so it has no test scores to compare.
