Summary:
The Tomah Area School District in Wisconsin is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 351 out of 426 school districts in the state and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district demonstrate stronger academic performance.
The Tomah Area Montessori School, a public charter school, is the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, currently ranked 346 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars. The school excels in English Language Arts, with 100% of 5th graders and 85.71% of 6th graders proficient or better on the Forward Exam. Another strong performer is Warrens Elementary, ranked 607 out of 1,061 and rated 2 out of 5 stars, which demonstrates above-average performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
However, the data also reveals significant performance disparities among the elementary schools in the district. Schools with higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, such as Lemonweir Elementary and Wyeville Elementary, tend to have lower academic achievement compared to their peers. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student performance, which may be exacerbated by funding inequities, as evidenced by the wide range in per-student spending across the district.
