Summary:
Tomah Area School District includes just one high school — Tomah High — serving grades 9–12 with 882 students in Tomah, Wisconsin. Because it is the only high school in the district, Tomah High alone defines the district's high-school profile; comparisons below are mainly between the school, the district overall, and the state.
Tomah High's standout strengths are its completion outcomes. Its 95.1% graduation rate is above the district's 92.7% and the state's 92.0%, and its 0.2% dropout rate is far below the district's 1.3% and the state's 1.1%. In statewide rankings, the school holds a 2-star rating and sat in the 38th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 32nd and 36th percentiles in the two prior years. That places it well ahead of the district overall, which is listed at 1 star and the 23rd percentile.
The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism: 32.7% of students are chronically absent, compared with 25.6% in the district and 17.3% statewide — nearly one in three students. Academically, 2025–26 proficiency is below the state in every subject tested. Social Studies is the widest gap at 32.87% (state 48.25%), and since the district sits at 32.88%, this appears to be a district-wide issue rather than a school-specific one. ELA fell sharply, from slightly above state (48.70% vs 48.62%) to 41.47%, now 7.00 points below state. Math held roughly steady at 40.09% (2.84 points below state, but above the district), while Science slipped from slightly above state to 40.55%, below the state's 43.20%. With 34.69% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, $14,942 per-student spending, and a 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio, the most actionable priorities appear to be attendance and Social Studies/ELA achievement.
