Summary:
Hilbert, Wisconsin has just one public high school: Hilbert High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 157 students as part of the Hilbert School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, its results fully define the district's high school outcomes — every district test score matches the school's exactly. The district as a whole ranks 215 of 432 districts statewide, placing it at the 50th percentile with 3 stars.
Completion and attendance are the school's clearest strengths. Hilbert High posted a 100% graduation rate in 2024–2025, matching the district and exceeding the state's 92.0%. Its dropout rate was 1.2%, close to the state's 1.1% though above the district's 0.8%. Chronic absenteeism stood at 9.4%, roughly half the state's 17.3%, suggesting a positive school climate. Social Studies was a bright spot academically, with 53.49% proficiency in 2025–2026 — above the state's 48.25% and up sharply from 42.86% the year before. Per-student spending is $15,582, the student-teacher ratio is 11.2, and 33.76% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.
Academically, results are mixed and currently trail the state. In 2025–2026, ELA was 37.21% proficient versus the state's 48.47%, math was 34.09% versus 42.93%, and science was 23.26% versus 43.20% — a gap of nearly 20 points. Math and science both declined year over year (down 12.58 and 13.41 points), while ELA has stayed roughly 11–12 points below state in both years. The school's rank history is also uneven: 181 of 431 (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, 305 of 431 (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025, and 354 of 533 (34th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — still below the median. With only 157 students, single-year swings should be read with caution, but the science and ELA gaps are large enough to be meaningful. Improving science and ELA while sustaining graduation and attendance would be the clearest priorities.
