Gillett School District

The Gillett School District in Wisconsin serves about 549 students across three schools — Gillett Elementary (PK–5, 277 students), Gillett Middle (6–8, 120 students), and Gillett High (9–12, 152 students) — all sharing one campus at 208 W Main St, Gillett, WI 54124. No alternative school is listed. At the district level, Gillett is ranked 366 of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 15th percentile with 1 star, so school-level differences matter a great deal here.

Among the three, Gillett Middle has the strongest academic profile: it reached the 53rd percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025 and the 42nd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, the highest of the three schools. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 0.8% and a 0.0% dropout rate. Gillett Elementary is close behind in rank at the 31st percentile with 2 stars, with 2.2% chronic absenteeism. Gillett High has the weakest test results but the best completion numbers: a 96.9% graduation rate (state: 92.0%), a 0.6% dropout rate (state: 1.1%), the smallest student-teacher ratio at 8.9, and the highest per-student spending at $21,182. Notably, higher spending does not line up with stronger current test scores in this snapshot.

Attendance is a district-wide strength — chronic absenteeism is 2.4% district-wide versus 17.3% statewide — and completion metrics at the high school outpace the state. Test proficiency is more uneven. In 2024–2025, Middle scored above state averages across its listed tests; in 2025–2026, all three schools fell below their comparable state averages, with High showing the largest gap (about 31.8% average versus roughly 45.7% statewide). Results also swing sharply by grade and subject: Elementary's grade 4 was a bright spot in 2025–2026, while grade 3 ELA and math lagged well behind state. Parents should look closely at specific grade and subject results rather than overall labels.
