Summary:
Hamilton School District in Wisconsin enrolls about 4,852 students across seven schools — four elementary schools serving grades K–4, two middle-level schools, and one high school — and ranks 11th of 432 districts in the state, placing it in the 97th percentile with 5 stars.
Achievement is strong across every school, so the differences are mostly a matter of degree. Marcy Elementary is the top-ranked elementary, at 23rd of 1,039 schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), with proficiency scores of 80.46–88.89. Woodside Elementary is the clearest improvement story, rising from 89th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–24 to 96th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26, including a +15.12-point gain in grade-4 math. Lannon Elementary posts the highest grade-3 ELA (88.10) and math (85.71) among the elementaries and has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (10.29%), lowest student-teacher ratio (14.8), and highest per-student spending ($15,674). Maple Avenue Elementary shows the widest swings: the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (17.94%) and elementary absenteeism (7.1%), sharp grade-3 declines, yet very strong grade-4 social studies (92.05) and science (86.36).
At the middle and high levels, Hamilton High is the district's largest school at 1,577 students and ranks 13th of 533 high schools, with a 98.5% graduation rate, a 0.2% dropout rate, and test scores 25–30 points above the state. Templeton Middle ranks 38th of 643, though several grade-8 subjects slipped year over year while staying well above state averages. Silver Spring Intermediate has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (3.2%) and steady, strong math above 81%, but no school-level rank data is included for it. Chronic absenteeism is below the state's 17.3% at every school.
