Summary:
Gilmanton School District in Wisconsin has one elementary school, Gilmanton Elementary, serving grades PK–4 with 52 students in Gilmanton, WI. The district is ranked 220 out of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 49th percentile with 2 stars, while the school itself is ranked 128 out of 1,039 with 4 stars in 2025–2026. Because there is only one elementary school, the school’s test scores and the district’s elementary scores are identical.
Gilmanton Elementary is on a sharp upward trajectory. Its rank improved from 832 out of 1,061 (22nd percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 to 649 out of 1,044 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, and then to 128 out of 1,039 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. The 2025–2026 4th-grade results are especially strong: 87.5% proficient in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies, and 75% in Science. 3rd-grade results are more mixed: 66.67% in ELA and 55.56% in Math. Chronic absenteeism is very low at 7.1% in 2024–2025, compared with 11.0% for the district and 17.3% for the state.
Key metrics for 2024–2025 include 30.77% free/reduced lunch, per-student spending of $15,465, and a student–teacher ratio of 10.8. The main caution is that with only 52 students in PK–4, proficiency percentages are based on very few students, so one or two students can shift a grade-level percentage by 12.5 points or more. Also, 3rd-grade Math in 2025–2026 was 55.56%, only 0.81 points above the state average. Still, the latest data show a school performing well above the state in most tested subjects and far better than its own recent history.
