Summary

Hilbert High is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in Hilbert, Wisconsin, with 157 students in the Hilbert School District. The district ranks 215th of 432 Wisconsin districts (50th percentile, 3 stars), while the high school ranked 354th of 533 in 2025–2026 (34th percentile, 2 stars). Its 11.2 student-teacher ratio is lower than most nearby schools — only Stockbridge High (8.1) is clearly lower — and per-student spending was $15,582 in 2024–2025. About 33.76% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, up from 26.43% in 2022–2023 and higher than several better-ranked neighbors such as Kimberly High (13.23%).

Academically the picture is mixed. Social Studies proficiency was 53.49%, above the state's 48.25% and ahead of East High and Reedsville Junior/Senior High School. But ACT results lag: English Language Arts 37.21% versus the state's 48.47%, Math 34.09% versus 42.93%, and Science 23.26% versus 43.2% — roughly 20 points below the state and the lowest among nearby schools, including Reedsville (34.09%) and East High (34.39%). The closest neighbor, Brillion High (about 5 miles away), outperforms Hilbert in rank, ELA, Math, and Science.

Completion metrics are stronger than the test-score profile: a 100% graduation rate, 1.2% dropout rate, and 9.4% chronic absenteeism, well below the state's 17.3% — though absenteeism did rise from 5.0% the prior year. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-income students rank near the state median (51st percentile, 3 stars), while English Language Learners (17th percentile, 1 star) and special education students (12th percentile, 0 stars) rank well below. Rank history has been volatile — 4 stars in 2022–2023, 1 star in 2024–2025, 2 stars in 2025–2026 — which is common in very small schools, where a handful of students can shift percentages. The areas to watch are Science, ACT ELA/Math, and subgroup support.
