Tomahawk Middle School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 229 and 399 out of over 600 Wisconsin middle schools in recent years. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5. Compared to the nearby James Williams Middle School in the Rhinelander School District, which is ranked 377 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and has a 2-star rating, Tomahawk Middle School appears to perform slightly better.

The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, are generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, Tomahawk Middle School performs better in Social Studies, with 8th-grade students scoring above the state average in recent years. The school also has relatively low dropout rates but experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 17.7% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending suggest that it has the resources to address its performance issues and improve student outcomes.
