Summary:
The Tomah Area School District in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Tomah High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 91.0%, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, now sitting at 348 out of 415 high schools in the state.
Academically, Tomah High struggles to keep pace with other schools in Wisconsin, with test scores consistently falling below the state average in all subject areas. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be contributing to its academic performance. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population, 42.02%, receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's below-average performance, Tomah High spends $11,981 per student, which is slightly above the state average. However, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into improved outcomes for students. The school's 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger suggests that it is performing below average compared to other high schools in Wisconsin, and its declining statewide ranking further reinforces the need for the district to address the challenges facing Tomah High.
