Summary
Wilmot High is a public high school serving about 840 students in grades 9–12 in the community of Wilmot, Wisconsin, and it is the only high school in the Wilmot Union High School School District. In 2025–26 it ranked 224th of 533 Wisconsin high schools — the 58th percentile, or 3 stars — placing it above the state median and above its own district's 53rd percentile. Its recent record is fairly steady, moving between the mid-50s and low-60s in percentile terms, with its strongest year in 2020–21 at the 67th percentile.
Wilmot's clearest strengths are getting students to the finish line and keeping them engaged. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 96.4% against 92.0% statewide, and its dropout rate was 0.3% versus 1.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism fell from 32.9% in 2022–23 to 13.7% in 2024–25, well below the state's 17.3% — a dramatic two-year improvement. Even so, some nearby schools report lower absenteeism, including Burlington High School (3.6%), Union Grove High (7.2%), Waterford High (9.0%), and Central High (12.8%). Graduation rates are high across the area, with Union Grove, Lakeview Technology Academy, Central, Burlington, Waterford, and Badger High all reporting between 96.7% and 98.3%.
On 2025–26 tests, Wilmot scored above the state average in all four tested subjects — social studies, English language arts, math, and science — but only by modest margins of roughly 0.7 to 2.7 percentage points. Locally it sits mid-pack: Waterford, Lakeview, Burlington, Badger, and Central score higher, while Tremper High and Indian Trail High School and Academy score considerably lower. Looking at how well the school serves particular groups, low-income students, students with disabilities, and male students all rank above the school's overall level (roughly the 70th to 79th percentiles), while female students rank lower, at the 43rd percentile — a gap that has persisted for three years. Wilmot spends $17,237 per student, more than most neighbors, with a 16.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio.
