Summary:
The Tomahawk School District has one elementary school, Tomahawk Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 526 students. While the school has some areas of strength, it also faces challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to help its students reach their full potential.
Tomahawk Elementary's performance is somewhat inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. The school's 4th and 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, while 3rd-grade students underperformed. Additionally, the school's 4th-grade students performed well in Social Studies and Science, exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages.
Another area of concern for Tomahawk Elementary is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (50.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school district's spending per student ($14,432 in 2020-2021) and the school's low student-teacher ratio (12.6 in 2023-2024) suggest a commitment to investing resources, the impact of these investments on student outcomes is not entirely clear from the data provided.
