Tomorrow River School District

Tomorrow River School District in Wisconsin enrolls about 1,198 students across five schools — three elementary-labeled schools, one middle school serving grades 5–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12, with no alternative schools — though two of the elementary-labeled schools are actually PK–8 charters. The Tomorrow River School District overall ranks 202 of 432, the 53rd percentile, with 3 stars, but its individual schools vary widely within that.

The three Amherst schools are the district's strongest. Amherst Middle is the most consistent performer, earning 4 stars in all three reported years (72nd percentile in 2025–26) and posting 5th grade math at 80.33% proficient versus the state's 51.81%, with the district's lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.2. Amherst High posts a 98.9% graduation rate and 0.5% dropout rate, well ahead of state figures, plus ACT ELA at 64% proficient versus the state's 48.47%. Amherst Elementary has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district at 4.6%, roughly one-quarter of the state's 17.3%, alongside science and social studies scores well above state averages, though its rank slipped to the 61st percentile in 2025–26.

The two charters are far more uneven. Tomorrow River Community Charter sits at the 19th percentile with 1 star, has the highest known free/reduced-lunch rate at 32.61% and chronic absenteeism near the state average at 16.9%, with very low early-grade math in 2025–26 (3rd grade math at 0%) but strong 8th grade social studies and science. Tomorrow River Virtual Charter School (TRVCS) enrolls just 66 students, which helps explain its many 100% and 0% scores, and reports a 7.6% dropout rate versus 0.7% districtwide — an outlier worth watching given its small size. Notably, Amherst High spends the most per student at $17,284, while TRVCS spends the least at $10,361.
