Summary

Camp Douglas Elementary is a small public school at 81 Junction St in Camp Douglas, Wisconsin — a small community in the Tomah area — serving 65 students in grades 2 through 5 as part of the Tomah Area School District. In 2025–26 the school ranked 668 of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (36th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 332 of 432. The school's history has been uneven: it was near the top in 2015–16 (68th percentile), fell to 12th and 14th percentile in 2018–19 and 2020–21, and has since climbed back to the mid-30s.

Fourth grade is the clearest bright spot. On the 2025–26 Forward Exam, Camp Douglas Elementary's 4th graders scored above both district and state averages in math (56.25%), social studies (68.75%) and science (62.50%), and above the district in 4th-grade ELA (50.00%). Elsewhere results were mixed: 3rd-grade ELA, 5th-grade ELA and 5th-grade math all fell below district and state levels. Among Tomah elementary schools, Camp Douglas is the highest-ranked traditional school — ahead of La Grange Elementary, Miller Elementary, Lemonweir Elementary and Wyeville Elementary — though Tomah Area Montessori School ranks far higher. With only 65 students, each grade has roughly 13–18 tested students, so one student can shift a grade-level result by several points, and a single year's numbers shouldn't be read as a long-term trend.

Chronic absenteeism was 16.4% in 2024–25, below the district's 25.6% and slightly below the state's 17.3%, and lower than most Tomah peers except Montessori. Still, it has risen sharply from 1.8% in 2020–21 and remains higher than nearby Royall Elementary (5.2%), Necedah Elementary (6.4%), New Lisbon Elementary (4.7%) and N-Vision Learning Center (1.4%). About 55.38% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, and per-student spending was $14,149 — lower than most surrounding schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 12.2. Overall, Camp Douglas looks like an improving school that is comparatively strong in 4th grade and ahead of most traditional Tomah peers, but still below state proficiency levels and inconsistent across grades.
