Summary

Chilton High is a public high school in Chilton, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with about 380 students as part of the Chilton School District. The district ranked 151 of 432 districts statewide (65th percentile, 3 stars), while the school's own 2025–26 rank is 135 of 533 schools (75th percentile, 4 stars) — top quartile statewide and above its district. That is a sharp jump from 2024–25, when it placed 248 of 431 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), a 33-percentile-point rise and the highest in the provided history. It is mid-sized among nearby high schools: larger than Valders High, Reedsville Junior/Senior High School, Brillion High, New Holstein High, Elkhart Lake High, Hilbert High, Stockbridge High, and Kiel eSchool, but smaller than Kaukauna High.

In 2025–26, Chilton's scores were above the Wisconsin average in all four reported areas: social studies 57.61 vs. the state's 48.25 (+9.36), English language arts 54.43 vs. 48.47, mathematics 54.43 vs. 42.93 (+11.50), and science 45.57 vs. 43.20 (+2.37). Math and social studies are the strongest relative results, and all four subjects improved from 2024–25. The school also stands out for its work with lower-income students: its low socio-economic status subgroup rose from the 11th percentile in both 2023–24 and 2024–25 to the 82nd percentile in 2025–26, even though its free/reduced-lunch rate (30.26%) is higher than most nearby schools. English language learner and special education subgroups also ranked in the mid-80s in 2025–26.

For 2024–25, Chilton's graduation rate was 93.9%, above the state's 92.0% but below every nearby high school listed. The dropout rate, 3.1%, is the clearest watch item — above the district's 2.5% and the state's 1.1%, higher than all nearby traditional high schools, and the highest in the school's recent five-year series. Attendance is a strength: chronic absenteeism of 7.0% is far below the state's 17.3% and better than most neighbors. Chilton also spends less than any nearby comparison school at $13,247 per student, yet posts above-state results.
