Lannoye Elementary, Green Bay WI

Original Research by School Decision on Lannoye Elementary

Lannoye Elementary is a regular public school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade in the Pulaski Community School District, located on County Road U in a rural area northwest of the city of Green Bay. Its address carries a Green Bay mailing designation, but the school draws from the surrounding towns and the village of Pulaski rather than from Green Bay’s urban core. The district itself has been steadily investing in its schools: voters approved two recent referendums, one in 2022 and another in 2024, that allow it to exceed state revenue limits for educational programming, staff retention, student safety, and facility upgrades. That pattern suggests a community willing to fund its schools through property taxes.

Enrollment at Lannoye is on the smaller side for an elementary school, with roughly comparable numbers of students in each grade from kindergarten through fifth grade, plus a sizable prekindergarten program. The student body is predominantly white, with a small share of students who identify as two or more races, Hispanic, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, or Asian. The proportion of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch is relatively low, indicating a generally middle-income family base. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not reported, so families curious about those supports may want to ask the school directly.

Academically, Lannoye performs well on Wisconsin’s Forward assessments. When the school’s results are averaged across all tested subjects and grades, its overall proficiency index places it in the top quarter of districts in Brown County. That is a strong showing. In English language arts, proficiency rates are solid across grades three through five, with the highest share of students meeting the bar in third grade. In math, rates are also solid, with fourth grade posting the strongest result. Fourth graders additionally take science and social studies assessments, and on those the school performs especially well: a large majority of fourth graders scored proficient or advanced in social studies, and a clear majority did so in science. These results point to a school that is delivering consistent, above-average instruction.

Because Lannoye is an elementary school, there is no graduation rate to report, and the school does not offer the kind of course pathways a high school might. The focus is on building foundational skills. The school’s setting is rural and quiet, a contrast with the more densely built parts of Green Bay. Families who live within the Pulaski district and want a smaller elementary school with strong test results and a mostly white, middle-income peer group may find it a good match. Those looking for significant racial or economic diversity, or for specialized program offerings, would want to look into what else the district provides or consider neighboring districts. The district’s recent referendums also mean property taxes in the area reflect the community’s investment in its schools, something current and prospective residents will want to factor in.

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.
