Summary

Hilbert Elementary is a small PK–4 school with 177 students in the village of Hilbert, Wisconsin, part of the Hilbert School District, and it currently ranks in the 75th percentile of Wisconsin elementary schools (258th of 1,039 schools, 4 stars) — well above its own district's middle-of-the-pack 50th percentile, 3-star rating. This is a genuine turnaround: in 2018–2019 the school sat in the 18th percentile with 1 star, and it has since posted four straight 4-star years, including an 87th-percentile finish in 2024–2025.

Academics are strong across the board, with every tested subject and grade above Wisconsin state averages in 2025–2026. Math is the signature strength: 85.29% of third graders were proficient, more than 30 points above the state, second among nearby schools only to Woodland School (87.64%), and well ahead of poverty-similar Chilton Elementary (67.12%). Brillion Elementary, the nearest school, posts stronger fourth-grade math, social studies, and science, while Hilbert's English language arts, social studies, and science results are solid but less distinctive. Chronic absenteeism of 4.8% in 2024–2025 is less than a third of the state rate (17.3%) and below the district's 6.8%.

About 40.11% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — a higher share than most nearby schools — yet Hilbert ranked in the 95th percentile (40th of 848 schools, 5 stars) for effectiveness with low-income students in 2025–2026. Some groups swing year to year: male students fell to the 55th percentile in 2025–2026 after the 90th–94th range, and special education results moved from the 98th to the 63rd percentile. With only 177 students, small cohort changes can shift percentages a lot, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year. Hilbert spends $13,717 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 13.
