Tank Elementary

Summary:

Tank Elementary is a public elementary school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 114 students. 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.

Tank Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with particularly low performance for male students, African American students, and students with special needs. The school's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.25% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36.74% for the district and 52.07% for the state. Additionally, Tank Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% in 2018-2019 to 45.0% in 2020-2021, which is more than double the district and state averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.64% to 92.61% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Green Bay Area Public School District, such as Chappell Elementary, Fort Howard Elementary, and Howe Elementary, also struggle academically, with rankings in the bottom 30-40% of Wisconsin elementary schools. However, Aldo Leopold Community School K-8 and Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners, which are also part of the same district, perform significantly better, ranking in the top 35% and top 1% of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively. This suggests that the challenges faced by Tank Elementary and other nearby schools may be systemic within the district, rather than solely a reflection of the individual school's performance.

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.
