Sullivan Elementary

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.

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.
