Summary:
ZIP code 54407 in Amherst Junction, Wisconsin, contains two schools, both elementary-level charters serving grades PK–8 from the same address on County Road MM: Tomorrow River Community Charter with 184 students and Tomorrow River Virtual Charter School (TRVCS) with 66 students. Both belong to the Tomorrow River School District, which ranks 202 of 432 districts in the state, at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars.
Comparing the two, TRVCS ranked higher in each of the three listed years. In the most recent year it placed at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, while Community Charter was at the 19th percentile with 1 star; both schools peaked in 2024–2025 and then slipped, with Community Charter's drop the steeper of the two. TRVCS posted the most eye-catching proficiency figures in the area — reported 100% in several ELA and social studies grades, and 100% in grade 8 math and science — but also 0% in math and science for some grades. Community Charter is strongest in the upper grades, with grade 8 results of 80% across ELA, math, social studies, and science in 2024–2025, but it has a clear early-math weakness, including 0% in grade 3 math and 8.33% in grade 4 math in 2025–2026.
Attendance and dropout data point in different directions. TRVCS reports chronic absenteeism of just 5.5%, well below Community Charter's 16.9% and the state's 17.3%, yet it also reports a 7.6% dropout rate versus Community Charter's 0.0% — unusual for schools classified as PK–8. Spending and staffing are similar: Community Charter spends slightly more per student ($10,963 vs. $10,361) with a lower student-teacher ratio (14.6 vs. 16.2). Parents should weigh these figures carefully, since TRVCS's small enrollment makes 100% and 0% results fragile, and TRVCS's free/reduced lunch rate is not reported, so that context cannot be compared. Grade-level test-taker counts would give a fuller picture.
