Chilton School District

Chilton School District in Wisconsin serves about 1,037 students across three schools — Chilton Elementary (PK–4), Chilton Middle (5–8), and Chilton High (9–12) — with no alternative school listed.

Two of the three schools earned 4 stars in 2025–26. Chilton Elementary is the broadest academic standout, ranking 312 of 1,039 (70th percentile) with above-state results in every reported subject; its 4th-grade Math was 69.77 versus the state's 52.87, and 4th-grade Science rebounded from 46.97 in 2024–25 to 63.95. Chilton High posted the biggest turnaround, rising from 2 stars and 42nd percentile to 4 stars and 75th percentile (135 of 533), with all four 10th-grade subjects above state — Math by 11.50 points — plus a 93.9% graduation rate. However, its 3.1% dropout rate is above the district's 2.5% and the state's 1.1%. Chilton Middle remained at 3 stars and 52nd percentile; all four of its math grades beat the state, but 6th-grade ELA trailed by 9.19 points and 8th-grade Social Studies and Science were slightly below state.

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide strength: every school is under 9% (High 7.0%, Elementary 8.1%, Middle 8.8%) against the state's 17.3%. Resources do not map neatly to results — Chilton Middle has the highest per-student spending ($14,664) and lowest student-teacher ratio (10.3) but the lowest rank, while Chilton High has the lowest spending ($13,247) and highest ratio (13.5) yet the strongest improvement. With small enrollments, year-to-year swings can be large, so families should watch the high school's dropout rate and the middle school's ELA and science/social studies gaps.
