District-Level NCES Analysis

Hilbert School District operates 3 public schools serving 468 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Calumet County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,524 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 42.1% local, 49.0% state, and 8.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 35/100, ranked #301 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), and 7.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.4% White, 17.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hilbert High, with a diversity index of 35.2/100.

Its largest campus is Hilbert Elementary, enrolling 177 students (37% of the district's total enrollment).

Hilbert Elementary accounts for 36.8% of all Hilbert School District student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Hilbert School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Hilbert School District chronic absenteeism rate is 7.6% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
