Original Research by School Decision on Howard and Suamico 4k Collaborative
The Howard and Suamico 4K Collaborative is a single-grade school serving only four-year-old kindergarten students. It sits within the Howard-Suamico School District, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet school.
Because the school serves only pre-kindergarten students, there is no state testing data, no graduation rate, and no chronic absenteeism data available. This is not a reflection of the school’s quality but rather the nature of its grade band. There are also no data on staffing, discipline, or course access in the available records.
The enrollment is small for the district’s overall size, and every student is enrolled in the same grade level. The student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic students, students who identify with two or more races, Black students, and Asian students. About a quarter of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a measure that families may use as one indicator of the economic mix of the school community. Data on students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and English learner status were not reported.
The school is housed at a location on Lineville Road in Green Bay. Green Bay is a mid-sized city with a strong industrial and healthcare employment base, shaped historically by paper manufacturing and meatpacking and more recently by a dominant healthcare sector. The city is defined in large part by the presence of the Green Bay Packers and the Oneida Nation reservation. Home values in the area have risen modestly, and the housing market reflects a typical mix of older neighborhoods and suburban-style development. The Howard-Suamico School District itself is one of several districts serving the broader metro area. The school sits in the suburb of Suamico, which is separate from the city of Green Bay proper.
The district’s strategic priorities, recent referenda, or curriculum changes were not found in publicly available sources, so this narrative does not speculate on them. For context among other public schools, the Howard and Suamico 4K Collaborative is best understood as an early-childhood program within a larger district, not as a standalone academic comparison point. Parents considering this school should look to the elementary schools that students will feed into, as the 4K experience here is the starting point of a longer educational pathway through the district.
This school fits a family looking for a community-based, half-day or full-day pre-kindergarten program that feeds into a unified district system. For families weighing private or alternative pre-K options, the collaborative structure, housed in one location but serving two area communities, may be worth a closer look for how it structures the day and transitions children into kindergarten placements. School environment and disciplinary data were not available, so families who prioritize that information would want to ask the school or district directly.
