Summary:

The Gilmanton School District in Wisconsin operates three small schools: Gilmanton Elementary, Gilmanton Middle, and Gilmanton High. While the district as a whole is ranked 366 out of 426 in the state, Gilmanton High has performed relatively well, ranking 180 out of 415 high schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Gilmanton Elementary has shown some academic strengths, with 3rd and 4th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam. However, all three schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.7% to 17.7% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 36.96% at Gilmanton Elementary to 62.79% at Gilmanton Middle.

The small enrollments at the Gilmanton schools, ranging from 41 students at the high school to 46 students at the elementary school, may limit the availability of educational resources and extracurricular activities for students. The district's per-student spending also varies, from $13,759 at Gilmanton Elementary to $18,903 at Gilmanton High, suggesting potential differences in resource allocation within the district.
