of 533 Wisconsin High Schools

Better than 23% of Wisconsin high schools

Summary

Gillett High is a small, rural public high school serving 152 students in grades 9–12 in Gillett, Wisconsin, and the only high school in the Gillett School District — one of the smallest in its region, with only Lena High (124) and Suring High (118) enrolling fewer. Its statewide standing is low and has been for a decade: in 2025–2026 it ranked 412 of 533 Wisconsin high schools (23rd percentile, 1 star), with the district at the 15th percentile. Gillett has never earned above 2 stars, and its percentile has swung widely — 10th, 44th, 41st, 10th, 23rd — without trending in either direction.

Gillett's strengths are in keeping students in school and getting them to graduation. Its 4.1% chronic absenteeism rate is the lowest of the nine comparison schools — about a quarter of the state's 17.3% and less than half the next-best peer, Oconto Falls High (10.0%). Graduation is 96.9%, above the 92.0% state rate, and dropout is 0.6% versus 1.1% statewide. Absenteeism fell from 33.9% in 2020–21 to 4.1% in 2024–25, an 88% drop. Gillett also has the group's smallest student–teacher ratio (8.9:1) and spent $21,182 per student in 2024–25, third-highest among the nine.

Academics are the clear gap. In 2025–26, 10th-grade proficiency was below the state in all four tested subjects: Social Studies 32.35% (state 48.25%), English Language Arts 34.21% (48.47%), Math 28.95% (42.93%) and Science 31.58% (43.20%) — ahead of only Menominee Nation High School in ELA and Math. About 54% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, second-highest in the group. One caution: with roughly 30–40 students per tested grade, a few students can move a subject by 10 points, so single-year results deserve wide error bars — Gillett has beaten the state in individual years and subjects before. Its closest statistical twin is Suring High, 8.4 miles away, with similar spending, poverty and class-size figures.
