Summary

Lemonweir Elementary is a PK–5 school in Tomah, WI, serving 249 students in the Tomah Area School District, where many families face economic challenges and chronic absenteeism is high.

In 2025–26, Lemonweir ranked 770/1039 in Wisconsin (26th percentile, 1 star), an improvement from the 14th percentile in 2024–25 but still in the bottom third statewide. The Tomah Area School District ranks 332/432 (23rd percentile). Lemonweir has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (67.47%) and the highest chronic absenteeism (28.6%) among nearby schools. Absenteeism spiked from 4.1% in 2021–22 to 33.9–37.4% in 2022–24 before improving to 28.6% in 2024–25, but it remains well above district (25.6%) and state (17.3%). Nearby comparisons: Oakdale Elementary 25.0%, Miller Elementary 24.2%, Warrens Elementary 21.0%, La Grange Elementary 18.6%, Wyeville Elementary 17.2%, Camp Douglas Elementary 16.4%, Tomah Area Montessori School 14.8%.

Academically, 4th grade is the weakest point: proficiency is the lowest among same-district tested peers in ELA, math, social studies, and science. Math is 23.33% (district 33.68%, state 52.87%) and science is 36.67% (district 48.7%, state 53.46%). A bright spot is 3rd grade math at 63.64%, above district and state. Oakdale Elementary and Southside Early Learning Center do not serve tested grades, and Tomah Area Montessori School includes grade 6, so comparisons are limited. The school’s effectiveness is stronger for low-SES students (41st percentile) and special-education students (35th) than overall (26th), and both improved from 2024–25. Despite high per-pupil spending ($16,275) and a low student-teacher ratio (10.5), broad proficiency remains below district and state. Nearby ranks: Camp Douglas Elementary 36th, Warrens Elementary 36th, La Grange Elementary 34th, Miller Elementary 30th, Tomah Area Montessori School 81st, Wyeville Elementary 23rd.
