District-Level NCES Analysis

Green Bay Area Public School District operates 44 public schools serving 18,922 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 35 other, 4 high, 4 middle, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 18,768 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Brown County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,203 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 28.3% local, 56.5% state, and 15.2% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $90,491 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 77/100, ranked #35 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 4 of 44 schools offering Advanced Placement (44 AP courses district-wide), a 422.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 36.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 35.8% White, 31.3% Hispanic or Latino, 9.8% African American across the district's schools.

Green Bay Area Public School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 59.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Green Bay Area Public School District student-counselor ratio is 423:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Green Bay Area Public School District chronic absenteeism rate is 36.7% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
