Summary:
ZIP code 54487 covers Tomahawk, Wisconsin, and includes three public schools — Tomahawk Elementary (PK–5, 512 students), Tomahawk Middle (6–8, 259 students), and Tomahawk High (9–12, 371 students) — all part of the Tomahawk School District, totaling 1,142 students. All three share the same address on E Kings Rd, suggesting a single connected campus, and there is no alternative school in this ZIP.
Among the three, Tomahawk Middle has the strongest current academic standing: it is the only school rated 3 stars, ranking 250 of 643 (61st percentile), up from 2 stars the prior year. Its seventh-grade math, eighth-grade science, and eighth-grade social studies results are above state averages, while sixth-grade math is roughly 14 points below state. Tomahawk Elementary has the lowest rank (37th percentile, 2 stars) but the lowest chronic absenteeism at 3.2%, and its fifth-grade ELA and math scores are about 15 points above state, even as grades 3 and 4 lag behind. Tomahawk High posts the strongest completion numbers — a 96.4% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout, and 7.9% chronic absenteeism, all better than state — but ACT results have swung widely, with only math above state in 2025–26.
Overall, the Tomahawk School District ranks 265 of 432 statewide (39th percentile, 2 stars). Attendance is a district-wide strength, with all three schools far below Wisconsin's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate. Per-student spending is similar across the three schools (within about $626), so differences in outcomes should not be attributed to funding levels.
