Summary
Tomorrow River Community Charter is a PK–8 charter school in Amherst Junction, WI, serving 184 students in the Tomorrow River School District. Its 2025–2026 rating is 845th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — 19th percentile, 1 star — well below its district (53rd percentile, 3 stars) and below Amherst Elementary (61st percentile, 3 stars) and Tomorrow River Virtual Charter School (TRVCS) (42nd percentile, 2 stars), making it the lowest-ranked of the three Tomorrow River schools. The school earned 4 stars in 2015–2016, 2016–2017, and 2018–2019, briefly rebounded to 3 stars in 2024–2025, and then fell to 1 star.
Chronic absenteeism was 16.9% in 2024–2025, above the district's 9.3% and higher than most nearby schools, though it has improved from 45.6% in 2021–2022. The school spent $10,963 per student in 2024–2025, less than Amherst Elementary, Chain Exploration Center, Iola-Scandinavia Elementary, and Rosholt Elementary; only Tomorrow River Virtual Charter School (TRVCS) spent less, at $10,361. Its student–teacher ratio is 14.6, close to Amherst Elementary's 14.5, and about 32.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, down from 41.74% in 2022–2023.
In 2025–2026, about 39% of students were proficient in ELA and about 29% in math, compared with district figures near 58% and 57%. Math is the clearest weakness, especially in grades 3–6: 3rd grade 0%, 4th grade 8.33%, 5th grade 23.81%, and 6th grade 20%. Eighth grade is a bright spot, exceeding state averages in ELA, math, social studies, and science, and social studies was above district and state at both tested grades. With 184 students across PK–8, grade-level results swing widely from year to year — 8th grade reached 80% in every subject in 2024–2025 but 0% in ELA, math, and science in 2023–2024 — so the multi-year pattern matters as much as any single year. Effectiveness for low-income students also shifted sharply, from the 71st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 27th percentile in 2025–2026.
