Summary:
The Tomah Area School District in Wisconsin is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 358 out of 428 school districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are worth highlighting.
The Tomah Area Montessori School, a public charter school, consistently performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. It has the highest SchoolDigger ranking in the district at 3 out of 5 stars. Another school showing steady improvement is Warrens Elementary, which has moved from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in the past year. Additionally, while smaller in size, Camp Douglas Elementary boasts some of the highest test scores in the district, especially in Mathematics and Social Studies.
However, the district faces some challenges, such as a wide range of chronic absenteeism rates, from 8.8% at Camp Douglas Elementary to 33.9% at Lemonweir Elementary. Additionally, the district serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 24.24% at Tomah Area Montessori School to 70.69% at Lemonweir Elementary. Addressing these challenges could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the Tomah Area School District.
