Summary

Tomah High is a public high school in Tomah, Wisconsin, serving about 882 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Tomah Area School District — one of the larger high schools in its area. Completion is a clear strength: 95.1% of students graduated in 2024–2025, above both the district (92.7%) and the state (92.0%), and the dropout rate was just 0.2%, tied with Sparta High for lowest among nearby schools. Attendance is the sharpest concern: 32.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, nearly double the state rate of 17.3% and far above similar-sized Sparta High's 4.4%.

Academically, Tomah High was below the state average in all four areas tested in 2025–2026: social studies (32.87%), ACT ELA (41.47%), ACT Math (40.09%), and ACT Science (40.55%). Social studies is the weakest spot, lower than every nearby school with reported data, and has fallen from 45.89% in 2022–2023 to 32.87%. That said, Tomah outperforms Sparta High in all four tested subjects, while the smaller Royall High and Brookwood High often post higher ACT and social studies results. Tomah made a large rebound from very low 2022–2023 levels in math and English, though some of those gains slipped in 2025–2026.

Resources are moderate for the area: $14,942 per student, a 13.9 student-teacher ratio, and 34.69% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Tomah High ranks 38th percentile (2 stars) statewide, above its district's 23rd percentile (1 star). Results vary across student groups: special education students rank at the 62nd percentile — a notable improvement from 19th the year before — while low-income students (26th percentile) and White students (25th percentile) fall in the bottom quartile. For families, attendance and social studies achievement look like the biggest opportunities for improvement.
