Original Research by School Decision on Lineville Intermediate
Lineville Intermediate serves fifth and sixth graders within the Howard-Suamico School District, a regular public school that is one of several elementary-to-middle feeders in the Green Bay area. The school’s enrollment is typical for a two-grade intermediate building, and the student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic students and those identifying as two or more races, along with modest Asian and Black student populations. About a quarter of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, a rate that places it on the lower end of economic need relative to many schools in the region. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the materials reviewed.
Academically, Lineville Intermediate posts solid results on the Wisconsin Forward Exam. Across both grades, math proficiency is strong, with a large majority of students scoring at the proficient or advanced level. English language arts results are respectable but notably lower, with a clear majority meeting the bar but a sizable share falling below. Participation rates on the assessments are extremely high, lending confidence to the reported figures. When compared to other districts in Brown County, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades sits above the midpoint—a meaningful marker that places it in the upper half of the county’s public school systems.
Because Lineville Intermediate does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report. Chronic absenteeism and discipline data were also not provided, so a parent curious about attendance patterns or behavioral climate would need to follow up directly with the school or district.
The school sits within the Howard-Suamico School District, which the available information shows no recent major referenda, curriculum overhauls, or property-tax shifts that would directly concern a parent. The district appears to have been relatively stable on those fronts. The broader community context is Green Bay, a mid-sized industrial and commercial city with a long history in paper manufacturing, meatpacking, and shipping, though healthcare has become the leading employment sector in recent years. The city’s economy also includes major employers such as Bellin Health, Schneider National, and the Oneida Nation. The Green Bay Packers are a central part of the area’s identity and draw regional tourism. Downtown Green Bay has distinct districts along the Fox River, and public transit is available via Green Bay Metro. Housing values in the general area are above the national typical level, and rents follow a similar pattern, making this a relatively more expensive part of Wisconsin for families.
For a family considering Lineville Intermediate, the picture is of a school with clear academic strengths in math and a respectable but less dominant performance in reading. The student body is economically mixed but leans toward lower poverty compared to many schools statewide. The racial and ethnic composition is overwhelmingly white, which may be a consideration for families seeking a more diverse peer environment. The school’s size is manageable for a two-grade building, and the lack of publicized changes in the district suggests a degree of continuity. A parent would want to investigate the supports available for students who are below proficient in ELA and whether any interventions are in place for subgroups whose data was not published. Overall, Lineville Intermediate is a performing school within a stable district, with the caveat that some key measures of school climate and equity were not available for review.
