Summary

Chilton High is a public high school located in Chilton, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 385 students. The school is part of the Chilton School District, which is ranked 261 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Chilton High has had a relatively stable four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.6% to 95.0% over the past few years, which is on par with nearby schools like Kaukauna High (91.0%), Valders High (91.0%), and Elkhart Lake High (91.0%). However, the school has had a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.4% to 19.5% in recent years, which is an area of concern. Chilton High's test scores in subjects like Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with the school performing well in some areas but struggling in others.

Another area of interest is the significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Chilton High, from 23.63% in 2021-2022 to 30.33% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance, as measured by its statewide school digger ranking and star rating, has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 3 stars (ranked 167 out of 410 Wisconsin high schools) in 2017-2018 to a low of 2 stars (ranked 245 out of 415 Wisconsin high schools) in 2022-2023, indicating that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance.
