Gillett Elementary School and Gillett Middle School were among 135 schools in the state which received Wisconsin Title I School of Recognition honors for the 2017-2018 school year. Both were named Beating-the-Odds schools, which are those in the top 25 percent of high-poverty schools in the state and have above average student achievement in reading and mathematics when compared to schools from similarly sized districts, schools, grade configurations, and poverty levels. This is the seventh consecutive year Gillet Elementary has received the Beating-the-Odds recognition and the second year for Gillett Middle School.
