Edison Middle, Green Bay WI - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Edison Middle

Edison Middle is a regular public school in the Green Bay Area Public School District, serving sixth through eighth grade. It is a large middle school, and its student body is notably diverse. Hispanic students make up the largest share, followed by white students, with smaller populations of Asian, Black, multiracial, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. Data on the share of students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the source material.

The school is located in Green Bay, a mid-sized industrial and commercial city on Lake Michigan. Healthcare is the dominant employment sector, though the city retains major paper and meatpacking operations. The Green Bay Packers are a central part of the city's identity. The city's population has seen a slight decline in recent years, and the broader metro area remains stable. The district itself is undergoing a significant restructuring, with a plan to consolidate several elementary schools, which will affect school assignments for families across the district.

On state assessments, Edison Middle's results are below the midpoint among middle schools in Brown County. In math, the share of students scoring proficient or above was modest across all three grades, with the eighth-grade result lower than the sixth- and seventh-grade results. In English language arts, the pattern was similar, with proficiency rates in the same range. Science and social studies, tested only in eighth grade, also showed a modest share of students meeting the proficiency bar. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand the academic support and intervention programs in place.

The school is part of the Green Bay Area Public School District, which is undergoing a significant restructuring. The Board of Education voted to consolidate several elementary schools, with some closures anticipated at the end of the 2025-26 school year. This directly affects school assignments and neighborhood school availability for families across the district. A referendum tied to this plan was held in November 2024.

Housing in the area around the school is moderately priced relative to national benchmarks, with home values and rents both showing modest year-over-year increases. The area is more affordable than the state average for housing. The national unemployment rate was moderate at the time of the data, and mortgage rates were in a typical range.

The school's overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places it in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in Brown County. This is a soft spot in the school's profile. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand the academic support and intervention programs in place. The school's participation rates on state assessments were high, meaning the results reflect nearly all enrolled students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
