MacArthur Elementary

Summary:

MacArthur Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving 247 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Green Bay Area Public School District.

MacArthur Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with 72.97% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 41.1% for the district and 53.42% for the state. The school also has strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic and multi-racial students, who rank in the top 15% and top 3% of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.0% in 2018-2019 to 30.7% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average.

While MacArthur Elementary outperforms nearby schools within the Green Bay Area Public School District, such as Jackson Elementary, Chappell Elementary, and Keller Elementary, it lags behind schools in the neighboring Ashwaubenon School District, such as Valley View Elementary and Pioneer Elementary. Additionally, MacArthur Elementary has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

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.
