Posted July 19, 2007

This is in my opinion the best public school in Green Bay, Wisconsin. My son attended Red Smith 1st grade to 4th (he is in 5th now ). All his teachers were caring. At the beggining of the year we exchanged emails and I was kept informed regularly about my son's progress. The school has high expectations for the students and it shows in excellent results on standarized tests. (WKCE). Staff is kind and always willing to help. Parents are very involved. The school itself is a newer building that always looks clean, a perfect environment for learning. My son is now attending a school in Florida since we moved this year and we have not found the quality of education that he was getting at Red Smith. We certainly miss it. The only suggestion for improvement would be more extracurr. activities for elementary students.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Wisconsin used the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS), which includes the WKCE and WAA, to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in math and reading, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in language arts, science and social studies. The WSAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wisconsin. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level. In private schools, only voucher program participants are tested.
