Summary:
ZIP code 54433 covers Gilman, Wisconsin, a small single-district rural community served by three schools in the Gilman School District: Gilman Elementary (PK–6), Gilman High (7–12), and eSucceed Virtual School (K–12). There is no separate middle school, since grades 7–8 are served by the high school. Total enrollment is 360 students, split between Gilman High (148), Gilman Elementary (134), and eSucceed (78). The district as a whole ranks 386 of 432 in Wisconsin, 11th percentile, 1 star.
Gilman Elementary is the clearest bright spot. Its rank climbed from 22nd percentile in 2024–2025 to 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, and it improved in 9 of 10 reported tests, including 4th-grade Social Studies rising from 50% to 75% — the highest proficiency figure in the data set. Its chronic absenteeism of 1.6% is far below the state's 17.3%. Gilman High shows the opposite pattern: excellent completion numbers with a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, but test proficiency averaging about 40.7% versus roughly 51.8% at the state level. Its 7th-grade math fell from 58.82% to 33.33%.
eSucceed Virtual School is the outlier: a 45.8% graduation rate, 8.4% dropout rate, $8,061 per-student spending, a 23.7 student-teacher ratio, and several 0% test results, with a simple 2025–2026 proficiency average of about 8.3% across four reported tests. It reports 0.0% chronic absenteeism, which may reflect virtual attendance definitions. Because it is a small alternative virtual school, these figures deserve caution. Overall, families here see a strong and improving elementary, a high school with strong completion but weaker proficiency, and an alternative program with significant challenges.
