Summary

Miller Elementary is a K–5 school in Tomah, Wisconsin, serving 245 students as part of the Tomah Area School District. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 727th out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools—the 30th percentile with 2 stars—up from 842nd out of 1,044 (19th percentile, 1 star) the prior year. The district itself ranks 332nd out of 432 districts (23rd percentile, 1 star), so the school is improving but still below the state median.

Academically, the school’s results are mixed. Third grade is a clear strength: ELA proficiency is 56% and math is 64%, both above district and state averages, and the 3rd grade math score is the highest among nearby Tomah schools, ahead of Lemonweir Elementary (63.64%), Wyeville Elementary (56.25%), La Grange Elementary (55.56%), Camp Douglas Elementary (53.85%), and Warrens Elementary (34.78%). Fourth grade is a persistent weak spot: math is 29.27% and ELA is 39.02%, well below district and state averages, with 4th grade math low for several years. Fifth grade is mixed. Overall, the school’s average ELA proficiency is about 45.96% and math about 46.33%, above district averages (roughly 43.34% ELA and 44.34% math) but below state averages (about 53.19% ELA and 53.14% math).

Other factors matter too. Chronic absenteeism is 24.2%, better than the district’s 25.6% but higher than the state’s 17.3%; nearby rates range from 8.7% at Herrman Elementary to 28.6% at Lemonweir Elementary, with Tomah Area Montessori School at 14.8% and Warrens Elementary at 21.0%. Special education students are a standout: they ranked at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 29th percentile two years earlier. Low-income students remain lower at the 28th percentile with 1 star, though up from the 13th percentile. The school has a 52.24% free/reduced lunch rate, $14,927 per-student spending, and an 11.5:1 student–teacher ratio. For comparison, Tomah Area Montessori School spends less ($12,756), has much larger classes (20.9:1), and still outperforms the school, suggesting factors beyond simple resources shape results.
