Summary

Tomah Middle is a public middle school in Tomah, Wisconsin, serving 681 students in grades 6-8. 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. Tomah Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, currently at 442 out of 628 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Academically, Tomah Middle struggles, with proficiency rates below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 34.21% in 6th grade math to 54.19% in 8th grade social studies, compared to the state averages of 52.98% and 62.51%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.7% to 30.4% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 3.0%. In comparison, nearby schools like Royall Intermediate and Sparta Meadowview Middle have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

One bright spot in the region is the Innovations STEM Academy, a public charter school within the Sparta Area School District. This school stands out with significantly higher academic proficiency rates and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While Tomah Middle's challenges may be influenced by socioeconomic factors, the school and district could focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, dropout rates, and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic performance.
