Chilton High has the strongest momentum, jumping from 2 stars and the 42nd percentile to 4 stars and the 75th percentile. All four 10th-grade subjects are above state, and its 93.9% graduation rate tops both the district and the state's 92.0%.
Chilton Middle is more uneven: math is above state in every grade 5–8, but ELA falls below state in 6th and 7th grade, and 8th-grade science and social studies are slightly below state. Its rank recovered from 2 stars to 3 stars. Attendance is a district-wide strength, with chronic absenteeism of 7.0%, 8.1%, and 8.8% against the state's 17.3%. Spending and staffing don't map neatly onto results: Chilton Middle has the highest per-student spending ($14,664) and smallest classes (10.3 students per teacher) yet the most mixed profile, while Chilton Elementary pairs $14,352 per student and an 11.7 ratio with the strongest proficiency. The main watch items are the high school's 3.1% dropout rate, above the district's 2.5% and the state's 1.1%, and middle-school ELA, social studies, and science.
