Summary:
Tomahawk High is the only public high school in the Tomahawk School District in Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 371 students. Because it is the district’s sole high school, families should compare its results with state averages and its own past performance rather than with other local high schools.
Completion and attendance are clear strengths. The graduation rate is 96.4%, above the state’s 92.0%; the dropout rate is 0.0%, compared with 1.1% statewide; and chronic absenteeism is 7.9%, far below the state’s 17.3%, though higher than the district-wide 5.0%. For context, 37.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $16,438, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.2; these figures are useful background but do not have state or district comparisons here.
Academics are mixed. Math is the most consistent relative strength, remaining above the state average in both years shown: +12.03 points in 2024-25 and +1.65 points in 2025-26. Social Studies improved sharply, from 31.46% to 52.22%, moving from below the state average to above it. ELA and Science moved the other way and are now below the state average; Science had the largest decline, from 55.95% to 34.94%, a drop of 21.01 points. The school’s ranking also fell, from 150th out of 431 schools in 2024-25, at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, to 275th out of 533 schools in 2025-26, at the 48th percentile with 2 stars. At the district level, Tomahawk School District is ranked 265 out of 432, at the 39th percentile with 2 stars. These changes may reflect different 10th-grade cohorts and different exams—Forward Exam for Social Studies and ACT for the other subjects—rather than a simple trend.
