Summary:
ZIP code 54660 covers Tomah, Wisconsin, and its nine public schools — six elementary, one middle, one high, and one alternative — serve roughly 2,740 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade as part of the Tomah Area School District, which ranks 332 of 432 in Wisconsin (23rd percentile, 1 star).
The clear standout is Tomah Area Montessori School, the only school above the 50th percentile: 197 of 1,039 (81st percentile, 4 stars), up from 60th percentile with 3 stars a year earlier. Its 4th grade ELA was 83.33% against a state rate of 53.87%, 4th grade science 83.33% vs 53.46%, and 6th grade math 66.67% vs 53.60%. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (31.94%), lowest per-student spending ($12,756), and lowest chronic absenteeism (14.8%, below the state's 17.3%) — though with just 72 students, its percentages swing easily. Tomah Middle is trending up (25th to 30th to 40th percentile, now 2 stars), and Tomah High posts a 95.1% graduation rate and 0.2% dropout rate.
Absenteeism is the district's biggest red flag: 25.6% districtwide versus 17.3% statewide, with seven of nine schools above the state rate — Tomah High at 32.7% and Robert Kupper Learning Center at 35.0%, where free/reduced lunch is 68.29%, dropout 26.1%, and spending $20,639 in a high-need alternative setting. Fourth grade is a weak spot at La Grange Elementary, Lemonweir Elementary, Miller Elementary, and Wyeville Elementary, but 3rd grade math is a bright spot there, at or above the state's 54.75%.
