Kennedy Elementary

Summary:

Kennedy Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving 277 students in grades PK-5. Unfortunately, this school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Kennedy Elementary struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.5% to 33.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on the Forward Exam is consistently below district and state levels across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.24% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.07% statewide. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with its African American and White student populations ranking in the bottom 20% and bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively.

When comparing Kennedy Elementary to nearby schools in the Green Bay Area Public School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For instance, MacArthur Elementary, located just 0.7 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 35% of Wisconsin elementary schools and outperforms Kennedy Elementary across all academic measures. Despite the school's poor performance, Kennedy Elementary spends more per student than some of its higher-performing neighbors, suggesting that the issue may not be solely related to funding.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
