Summary:
Sullivan Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving 650 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Green Bay Area Public School District, which is ranked 375 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sullivan Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools based on academic performance. On the state's Forward Exam, only 26.67% of 3rd graders, 13.98% of 4th graders, and 20% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly below the district averages. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.6% to 38.3% in recent years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a concentration of students from low-income families. While the school performs relatively well for African American students, it struggles with other subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and White students.
When compared to nearby schools, the challenges at Sullivan Elementary become even more apparent. For example, Martin Elementary, just 1.58 miles away, consistently outperforms Sullivan on the Forward Exam and has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, the Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners, located 1.19 miles from Sullivan, is a stark contrast, ranking among the top 5 elementary schools in Wisconsin with exceptional academic performance. Despite the challenges, Sullivan Elementary's per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources to address the specific needs of the school's student population.
