Original Research by School Decision on Lomira High
Lomira High is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in the village of Lomira, Wisconsin. The school is part of the Lomira School District, which operates a single K-12 building in the village and one additional elementary school in the neighboring village of Theresa. The high school occupies that shared building in Lomira and is integrated into the village rather than set apart on a separate campus.
State testing data for Lomira High was not available in the sources we reviewed. The school’s academic performance summary contained no reported results, and the multi-year trends were empty. Because of this gap, we cannot characterize the school’s proficiency levels in reading, math, or science relative to other schools, nor can we describe year-to-year changes. Similarly, the school’s four-year graduation rate was not reported in the data we had, and chronic absenteeism figures were missing. A parent looking for quantitative measures of academic outcomes will find little here; we have no basis to assess achievement or attainment from the information provided.
Enrollment is modest. The student body is predominantly white, with a small share of Hispanic students and a very small share of Black students. More than one in five students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a notable share. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not reported. The school is not a charter or magnet school, and its Title I status was not indicated in the data. Discipline figures, staffing ratios, and course access details were also absent, so information on student support structures or program breadth is limited.
Lomira itself sits at the crossroads of several state highways and Interstate 41 in agricultural Dodge County. The village is small, with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Major employers include a large printing plant and a farm equipment manufacturer, both of which opened facilities in previous decades. The village is roughly equidistant from Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Madison, each about an hour’s drive away. Home values in Lomira are above the national median. The economic context shows a national unemployment rate around four percent and a median household income above eighty thousand dollars; these are broad figures, but the village’s own income and home-value numbers are not broken out separately in the data we have.
In 2022, the Lomira School District passed a facilities referendum to fund building improvements across district schools, including safety upgrades, HVAC replacement, roofing, and classroom renovations. This suggests a recent community investment in school infrastructure, though the scope of changes specific to the high school is not detailed. The village has seen some industrial development over time, and resident surveys have indicated interest in significant school upgrades such as a new gymnasium and relocated football field, pointing to ongoing civic attention to school facilities.
Because academic performance data and graduation rates are missing, families considering Lomira High will need to seek this information directly from the school or district. The absence of testing results and outcome measures makes it difficult to compare this school to others in Dodge County or beyond. What is clear is that Lomira High serves a small, demographically homogenous student body in a rural village where manufacturing and agriculture anchor the local economy and where the district has recently invested in its buildings.
