Original Research by School Decision on Brillion High
Brillion High is the sole public high school for Brillion, a small city in Calumet County, Wisconsin, and serves grades nine through twelve as a regular public school. The student body is small in size and largely white, with a modest share of Hispanic and multiracial students, and very small numbers of Asian and Black students. About one in five students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a marker of low-income households. Enrollment appears stable across the four grade levels, with each grade holding a roughly similar count of students. No data on students with disabilities or English learners was reported.
State testing results and a four-year graduation rate are absent from the available data. For a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve, these are expected metrics, and their absence is a notable gap. A parent may wish to ask the school directly for its most recent academic performance figures, as well as information on course offerings such as Advanced Placement, dual credit, or career and technical education pathways, which were also not reported. The school cannot be compared to other Calumet County districts on proficiency, graduation, or chronic absenteeism because no data was available for Brillion High on those measures.
The community of Brillion sits roughly equidistant from Appleton, Green Bay, and Manitowoc, making it a bedroom community for those job centers. Its compact downtown, centered on Main Street, houses the city hall and a library. The population has grown modestly in recent years, and the city has a community development director, suggesting active planning, though no specific housing or commercial projects surfaced in public records. The city operates its own police and fire departments, and a recreation and aquatics program. Home values in Brillion fall modestly below the statewide typical figure but have shown recent appreciation, and the price-to-income ratio is around the national norm, indicating a relatively attainable market compared to larger Wisconsin metros. The school is part of the Brillion School District, for which no recent changes affecting parents were found in public sources.
No information was available on discipline rates, staffing ratios, attendance patterns, or civil rights topics such as restraint or seclusion. The school is not a charter or magnet and does not appear to receive Title I funding, though that status is unconfirmed. Brillion High is a small, community-based high school in a commuter town, but without academic performance data, its academic profile is unknown to an outsider. Families evaluating this school will need to fill that gap through direct inquiry.
