Summary:
Wisconsin's Hilbert School District has a single elementary school, Hilbert Elementary (1139 W Milwaukee St, Hilbert), serving pre-kindergarten through Grade 4 with about 177 students, a 13:1 student–teacher ratio, and $13,717 in per-student spending. Because it is the district's only elementary school, the school's results and the district's elementary results are identical — the figures below describe the entire elementary program.
Academically, Hilbert Elementary compares very well with the rest of Wisconsin. In all 12 grade-and-subject results available across two school years, the school's proficiency rate beat the state's. Mathematics is the standout: averaged across grades 3 and 4, math proficiency ran roughly 19 to 22 points above the state, peaking at 85.29% for Grade 3 in 2025–2026 versus a state figure of 54.75%. English language arts holds a steady 59–67% range, still 7 to 14 points ahead of the state. The school has earned a 4-star rating in each of the last three years and remains in the top quartile of Wisconsin elementary schools, currently 258th of 1,039. Chronic absenteeism is 4.8%, compared with 6.8% for the district and 17.3% statewide.
Two things are worth watching. The school's rank slipped from 133rd (87th percentile) in 2024–2025 to 258th (75th percentile) in 2025–2026, even though Grade 3 reading improved and Grade 3 math jumped more than 22 points. Much of the apparent Grade 4 decline — social studies down 18.5 points, science down 14.8 — reflects a different class of students rather than weaker performance: following the 2024–2025 third graders into fourth grade, their reading and math scores each rose by about 3.7 points. The school also leans heavily on math, with reading trailing by as much as 23.5 points in one class. Because each grade has only about 27–34 students, a single student can shift a score by 3–4 percentage points.
