Summary

Miller Elementary is a public elementary school in Tomah, Wisconsin, serving 239 students in grades K-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.

Miller Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas, and particularly low performance for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade White students ranked 689 out of 718 Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating. The school's spending per student, ranging from $10,840 to $11,729, is also lower than nearby schools like Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary ($15,311) and Lemonweir Elementary ($14,210).

While Miller Elementary is part of the same school district as other local schools, such as Camp Douglas Elementary, Warrens Elementary, and Wyeville Elementary, its academic performance and other key metrics lag significantly behind these nearby schools. Additionally, Tomah Area Montessori School, which is also part of the Tomah Area School District, consistently outperforms Miller Elementary on test scores and other measures.
