Summary

Hilbert Middle is a public school in Hilbert, Wis., a small community in Calumet County, serving 147 students in grades 5–8 as part of the Hilbert School District. In 2025–26, it ranked 259th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools—about the 60th percentile—after finishing at the 49th percentile in 2024–25, so the school improved but remains below its historical peak of the 95th percentile in 2015–16. The district ranked 215th of 432 Wisconsin districts in 2025–26. Overall, this is a small, mid-pack school with clear strengths and areas to watch.

Math is the standout academic strength. In 2025–26, Hilbert Middle scored above the state at every grade level: 5th grade 76.92% proficient vs. 51.81% statewide, 6th grade 70% vs. 53.6%, 7th grade 66.67% vs. 55.67%, and 8th grade 66.67% vs. 53.67%—an 11–25 point advantage. Compared with nearby schools, its math is stronger than Chilton Middle and Stockbridge Middle and competitive with Little Chute Middle in some grades, but it trails high performers such as Wrightstown Middle, Gerritts Middle, and Brillion Middle. English language arts is more mixed: 5th grade is above state, 6th grade is essentially at state, and 7th and 8th grades are below state. Eighth-grade ELA fell from 58.33% in 2024–25 to 46.15% in 2025–26, making upper-grade ELA the clearest academic concern.

Attendance is a major strength. In 2024–25, chronic absenteeism was 6.0%, compared with 6.8% for the district and 17.3% for Wisconsin. Among nearby schools, only Wrightstown Middle (4.6%), Woodland Intermediate (5.7%), and Brillion Middle (5.8%) had lower rates. Hilbert spent $11,446 per student in 2024–25, the lowest among listed nearby schools, yet its math and attendance beat several higher-spending peers. Special education effectiveness rose from the 26th percentile in 2022–23 to the 79th percentile in 2025–26, and low-income student effectiveness improved to the 67th percentile. With 147 students, small cohorts can make yearly results swing, so families should look at multi-year trends rather than a single year.
