Green Bay Named a 5-Star Public School Metro

The Green Bay Area Public School District was one of three districts evaluated as part of the Green Bay metropolitan area being named a 5-Star Public School Metro in the country, according to a survey ranking U.S. school districts with 3,300 students or more. Expansion Management Magazine, a monthly business publication for executives of companies that are actively looking to expand or relocate facilities within the next three years, conducted the survey.

“Today’s students are tomorrow’s work force,” said Daniel A. Nerad, superintendent of the Green Bay Area Public School District. “Our job is to prepare those students for the rest of their lives. Our success lies in not only the curriculum we provide, but also our partnerships with area businesses. This is one of the reasons why the Green Bay metropolitan area is a desirable place for businesses.”

Howard-Suamico and Pulaski School Districts were also used as part of the data.

Of the 70 metropolitan areas named 5-Star Public School Metros, eight were in Wisconsin. The magazine rated the metro areas’ schools as a way of providing a basis for executives to compare the type of work force they are likely to encounter in various communities across the country. Using the data from its 15th annual Education Quotient ratings, Expansion Management grouped school districts into Metropolitan Satistical Areas (MPAs). Public schools in those 362 MPAs were compared according to a variety of categories, including college admission test scores, graduation rates, beginning and average teacher salaries, per pupil expenditures and student-teacher ratio.
