Summary:
The Tomahawk School District contains only one high school, Tomahawk High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 149 and 190 out of 415-431 Wisconsin high schools over the past three school years. While the school's four-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average at 91.0%, its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average at 17.7%.
Academically, Tomahawk High's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT tests have been a mix of strengths and weaknesses. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts but underperformed in other subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school outperformed the state in Social Studies but underperformed in other subjects. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is slightly lower than the state average, and it has a relatively high percentage of students (34.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,918 for the 2020-2021 school year, the data suggests that Tomahawk High may need to focus on improving its overall academic outcomes and addressing the challenges faced by its student population. The school's fluctuating performance and mixed academic results indicate that there is room for improvement, and the district may need to evaluate how it is allocating resources to support student success.
