Chilton School District

The Chilton School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Chilton High, Chilton Elementary, and Chilton Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Chilton Middle School stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 190 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed state and district averages in mathematics and social studies, while maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9. In contrast, Chilton High School had mixed academic results, with 10th-grade students performing above the state average in social studies but below the state average in English language arts and science.

Across the district, all three schools faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%. Additionally, the district had very low percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a potential lack of socioeconomic diversity. While Chilton High School maintained a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate, the district may want to consider addressing the academic performance gaps and exploring ways to improve student engagement and attendance.
