Summary

Lemonweir Elementary is a public elementary school in Tomah, Wisconsin, serving 275 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tomah Area School District, which is ranked 351 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lemonweir Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, academic performance that is below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and particularly low performance for certain student subgroups. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.48% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.22% for the district and 52.14% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.51% to 70.69% over the past few years.

While Lemonweir Elementary is part of the Tomah Area School District, there are several other elementary schools in the district that outperform it academically, such as Warrens Elementary and Tomah Area Montessori School. Additionally, Lemonweir Elementary's ranking among Wisconsin elementary schools has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school's performance is not improving and may be getting worse relative to other schools in the state. The school's challenges may require targeted interventions and additional support from the Tomah Area School District to improve student outcomes.
