Gilman High

Summary:

Gilman High is a public high school located in Gilman, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 152 students. The school is part of the Gilman School District, which is ranked 384 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gilman High has faced significant challenges in recent years, with a declining performance that has seen its statewide ranking drop from 12th out of 466 Wisconsin high schools in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 361 out of 431 in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students and white students underperforming compared to their peers. While Gilman High has maintained relatively high graduation rates, its dropout rates have fluctuated, and its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently below the state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced varying levels of chronic absenteeism, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Owen-Withee High, Holcombe High, Cornell High, Thorp High, and Stanley-Boyd High, Gilman High generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with its peers in the region, and the high rate of economic disadvantage among its students may be contributing to these challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
