Summary:
ZIP code 54129 is home to a single public high school: Hilbert High, serving grades 9–12 in the city of Hilbert, Wisconsin, as part of the Hilbert School District. With 157 students enrolled, it is a small school—its entire 9–12 population is roughly the size of one grade at a larger high school. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local peer schools to compare it against; the meaningful benchmarks are the district and the state of Wisconsin.
Hilbert High's strongest results are in getting students to the finish line and keeping them in class. Its graduation rate is 100.0%, above Wisconsin's 92.0%, and chronic absenteeism is 9.4%—roughly half the statewide 17.3%. The dropout rate of 1.2% is slightly above the state's 1.1% and the district's 0.8%. Staffing context looks favorable for a small school: a student-teacher ratio of 11.2 and per-student spending of $15,582, with 33.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academics are mixed. Social studies is a bright spot, rising from 42.86% proficiency in 2024–2025 to 53.49% in 2025–2026, moving above the state's 48.25%. ELA has stayed consistently below the state—36.67% and 37.21% against roughly 48–49% statewide—and math swung from 46.67% (above the state's 42.73%) to 34.09%, below the state's 42.93%. Science is the clearest concern, falling from 36.67% to 23.26%, about 20 points below the state. Rank history echoes that pattern: 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024, 29th percentile with 1 star in 2024–2025, and 34th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. With such a small 10th-grade cohort, single-year swings can reflect just a few students, so parents should watch multi-year trends.
