Green Bay Area Public School District (GBAPS) is the fourth largest school district in Wisconsin. As of the 2020โ21 school year, GBAPS served more than 21,000 students in 36 schools and had 3,641 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff positions.[1] A publicly elected school board, the Green Bay Area Public School Board of Education, provides direction and oversight, with a superintendent heading the organization's administration.
Green Bay Area Public Schools' offerings include neighborhood schools, specialty schools and charter schools serving students as young as age 3 up through grade 12.
The district was founded in 1856, with the founding of the first public school, Sale School.[2] Sale School has since been demolished.
Programs
Specialty programs in GBAPS include arts schools such as Green Bay East High School's Fine Arts Academy; alternative instruction such as Aldo Leopold Community School, Dr. Rosa Minoka-Hill School, and the Northeast Wisconsin School of innovation; charter schools including the John Dewey Academy of Learning; and International Baccalaureate schools such as Green Bay West High School.
A multitude of 4K and other early education programs are also offered by the district, as well as afterschool programs.

In general, both English Language Arts Achievement and Mathematics Achievement is below the state average according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's latest district report card, showing that the district received a 47.6/100 score compared to the states 62.3/100 score. These issues are complicated by 59.4% of student's who are classified as Economically Disadvantaged, in addition to 22.3% who are considered English Learners.[3]
