Summary

Gilman High is a small public school in Gilman, Wisconsin, serving grades 7–12 with 148 students as part of the Gilman School District. It ranks 381st of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 (29th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 386th of 432 (11th percentile). That is a steep slide from 2014–2015, when Gilman ranked 12th of 466 (97th percentile, 5 stars) — though the 2025–2026 result is a modest gain over 2023–2024 (16th percentile) and 2024–2025 (25th percentile).

Completion metrics are a clear bright spot. Gilman reports 100% graduation in 2024–2025 and 2023–2024 and 0.0% dropout for three straight years — as good as or better than Owen-Withee High, Cornell High, Thorp High, Holcombe High, and Stanley-Boyd High. The student-teacher ratio is 13.1, second best among nearby schools, and spending is $20,457 per student, roughly 20% above the nearby average. One caution: chronic absenteeism jumped from 2.1% to 10.1% in a single year — still below the state (17.3%), but above the district and several neighbors. Note too that the district's own graduation rate is 75%, well below the school's 100%.

Academics are the bigger concern. Proficiency is below state in nearly every subject, with ACT Science the weakest at 23.33% versus the state's 43.2%, and 8th-grade science declining for three consecutive years. Gilman ranks 3rd of 6 nearby schools in ACT ELA, 2nd of 6 in ACT Math, and 5th of 6 in ACT Science. Overall it sits above Owen-Withee and Holcombe, similar to Thorp, but below Cornell and Stanley-Boyd — both of which spend far less per student. Because classes are small, year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
