Summary:
Gilmanton, Wisconsin is served by three small public schools — Gilmanton Elementary (PK–4), Gilmanton Middle (5–8), and Gilmanton High (9–12) — all part of the Gilmanton School District, which ranks 220 of 432 districts statewide (49th percentile, 2 stars). Total enrollment is just 128 students, so individual students can shift percentages significantly from year to year.
Gilmanton Elementary is the standout: it ranks 128 of 1,039 schools (88th percentile, 4 stars), up sharply from 38th percentile the prior year, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the city at 7.1%. Its proficiency rates beat the state in all six listed elementary tests, with 4th-grade ELA, math, and social studies all at 87.5%. Gilmanton Middle also improved, rising to 54th percentile and 3 stars, and posted 100% proficiency in 8th-grade social studies. But results vary widely by grade: 5th-grade math was 0% and 5th-grade ELA 28.57%, while its chronic absenteeism of 10.5% is still below the state's 17.3%. It also has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate at 54.05%.
Gilmanton High shows a completion-versus-readiness split. Its 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate beat the state, but its academic rank is 409 of 533 (23rd percentile, 1 star). 10th-grade ACT ELA was 0% and ACT math 11.11%, well below state levels, though 10th-grade social studies reached 54.55%. Chronic absenteeism is 15.8% — better than the state but more than double the elementary school's rate. The high school also spends the most per student ($31,439) and has the smallest student-teacher ratio (6.7), which may reflect the cost of operating a very small high school.
