Summary:
The 54660 zip code is home to a single public high school, Tomah High, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Tomah Area School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates and statewide rankings, has been consistently below the district and state averages in recent years.
Tomah High's statewide ranking has fluctuated, going from 292 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024 to 348 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT tests are generally lower than the Tomah Area School District and the state of Wisconsin averages, particularly in the areas of Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 42.02% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's challenges, it maintains a respectable 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% suggests that student engagement and attendance may be areas that require further attention. Overall, the data indicates that Tomah High is facing significant academic hurdles, and further investigation into the school's strategies and support systems may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and better support student success.
