Original Research by School Decision on Foxview Intermediate
Foxview Intermediate serves only fifth and sixth graders in the Unified School District of De Pere, a mid-sized city in the Green Bay metropolitan area. The school sits on the east bank of the Fox River, in a community that mixes a historic downtown core, a private liberal arts college, and suburban-style subdivisions. The population is predominantly white. The city has experienced stable growth, with ongoing residential development and a major Fox River cleanup completed in recent years. Two school districts, Unified De Pere and West De Pere, serve the city, with schools distributed throughout its neighborhoods.
Academically, Foxview Intermediate posts strong results on the Wisconsin Forward exam. In both math and English language arts, proficiency rates land well above the midpoint among districts in Brown County, placing the school in the top quartile for overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades. Math proficiency in particular is robust, with the sixth-grade cohort performing higher than the fifth-grade cohort. English language arts proficiency is also solid, again with sixth graders outperforming fifth graders. Participation rates on the state assessments are extremely high, which means the reported results reflect nearly all enrolled students.
The student body is largely homogeneous in racial and ethnic terms. About a fifth of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower share than many districts in the county, indicating a comparatively advantaged socioeconomic profile. The school does not report data on special education identification or English learner status, so families with children receiving those services may want to ask the district directly about supports and staffing. Foxview is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and does not appear to receive Title I funding; the data does not indicate one way or the other.
Because Foxview only covers the five-to-six grade band, there is no graduation rate to report, nor are there discipline, staffing, attendance, or chronic absenteeism figures in the available data. The school is part of the Unified School District of De Pere, and the district brief, researched for recent changes such as referendums or curriculum shifts, turned up little of lasting public note. Families coming from a younger-grade feeder school or moving into the district can expect a focused two-year intermediate program before students move on to De Pere Middle School and then De Pere High School.
Housing values in De Pere are above both the state and national benchmarks, and rents are moderate relative to local incomes. The area is a commuter-friendly part of the Green Bay metro with limited public transit, so a car is likely necessary. The city itself offers a walkable downtown core along the Fox River, with a college campus and recreational trails, but much of the housing stock outside the historic center is in auto-oriented subdivisions.
For a family considering Foxview, the takeaway is a school performing at a high level academically, within a comparatively well-resourced and predominantly white community. The student composition is not diverse, and the school offers no alternative program labels such as magnet or charter. The intermediate-only structure means students will transition schools after two years. Parents may want to ask about special education and English learner services, since that data is absent from the public record, but on the core academic measures the school is a strong performer both in absolute terms and relative to other Brown County districts.
