Summary

Chilton Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 375 students in the Chilton School District in Chilton, Wisconsin, a small eastern Wisconsin community where the nearest comparison schools sit roughly 6.5 to 15.7 miles away. The school is a relative bright spot within its district: it ranks 312th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (70th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, while the district ranks 151st of 432 (65th percentile, 3 stars). That is the school's best result in the available history, up from the 38th percentile in 2022–2023.

Test scores tell a similar story. Chilton scored above the Wisconsin average in every reported Forward Exam subject and grade in 2025–2026, with its biggest edge in math, where third and fourth grade proficiency beat the state by 12 to 17 percentage points. Fourth grade science rebounded from below the state average in 2024–2025 (46.97%) to 63.95% in 2025–2026. Among nearby schools, Chilton trails the two standouts, Woodland School and Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Elementary, but is comparable to Brillion Elementary, New Holstein Elementary, Hilbert Elementary, Reedsville Elementary, and Zielanis Elementary, and well ahead of Valders Elementary and Stockbridge Elementary.

Two internal patterns stand out. Chilton's English Language Learner subgroup ranked in the 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026 and has stayed in the top 20–30% statewide for three years; results for female students and for students from low-income families are also strong. Special education is the clearest challenge, at the 29th percentile with 1 star even as the school overall earned 4 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 8.1% in 2024–2025 — less than half Wisconsin's 17.3%, but higher than Woodland School (2.7%), Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Elementary (1.8%), and Brillion Elementary (4.1%). Chilton also serves the highest free/reduced lunch rate (42.67%) among nearby schools, with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and per-pupil spending of $14,352.
