Summary:
The Tomah Area School District serves about 2,938 students across 11 schools — eight elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and one alternative school — covering grades PK through 12 in western Wisconsin. District-wide it ranks 332 of 432, at the 23rd percentile with 1 star, but that single figure hides wide variation between schools. Tomah High and Tomah Middle together enroll 1,545 students, or 52.6% of the district, so their results weigh heavily on the overall rating.
Tomah Area Montessori School is the clearest standout, at 197 of 1,039 — the 81st percentile and 4 stars — far above every other school. It also posts the district's strongest proficiency rates, the lowest chronic absenteeism (14.8%), the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (31.94%), and the lowest per-student spending ($12,756), though with only 72 students those results are statistically fragile. Camp Douglas Elementary, Warrens Elementary, and Miller Elementary are all 2-star schools with pockets of solid results, and Tomah High reports a 95.1% graduation rate and just 0.2% dropout, both above district and state.
Chronic absenteeism is the district's biggest shared concern: the district rate is 25.6% against the state's 17.3%, and eight of eleven schools exceed the state rate, with Tomah High at 32.7% and Robert Kupper Learning Center at 35.0%. Lemonweir Elementary and Wyeville Elementary remain the weakest traditional elementaries at 1 star, with simple proficiency averages around 42.2% and 38.3%. Note that Oakdale Elementary (PK-1) and Robert Kupper Learning Center have no test-score rows reported, so that absence should not be read as zero performance.
