Green Bay Area Public School District (GBAPS) is the fourth largest school district in Wisconsin. As of the 2020-2021 school year, GBAPS served more than 21,000 students in 36 schools and had 3,641 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff positions.[1] A publicly elected school board, the Green Bay Area Public School Board of Education, provides direction and oversight, with a superintendent heading the organization's administration.
Green Bay Area Public Schools' offerings include neighborhood schools, specialty schools and charter schools serving students as young as age 3 up through grade 12.
The district was founded in 1856, with the founding of the first public school, Sale School.[2] Sale School has since been demolished.
Programs[]
Specialty programs in GBAPS include arts schools such as Green Bay East High School's Fine Arts Academy; alternative instruction such as Aldo Leopold Community School, Dr. Rosa Minoka-Hill School, and the Northeast Wisconsin School of innovation; charter schools including the John Dewey Academy of Learning; and International Baccalaureate schools such as Green Bay West High School.
A multitude of 4K and other early education programs are also offered by the district, as well as afterschool programs.
Performance[]
In general, both English Language Arts Achievement and Mathematics Achievement is below the state average according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's latest district report card, showing that the district received a 47.6/100 score compared to the states 62.3/100 score. These issues are complicated by 59.4% of student's who are classified as Economically Disadvantaged, in addition to 22.3% who are considered English Learners.[3]
Absenteeism and Dropout Rates sit within the state's goal for the district of less than 13%, and less than 6% respectively, with the actual rates being 10.6% and 2.8%.[3]
