We’re glad you’re here.

Altoona is located in west central Wisconsin in the heart of the Chippewa Valley. Contiguous to Eau Claire, Altoona is a community of 9,320 residents and home to about 546 businesses. The Altoona school district serves a student population of just under 1,900 students and covers just 14.79 square miles.

Three of the district's four schools, Altoona Intermediate School (4-5), Altoona Middle School (6-8), and Altoona High School (9-12) are conveniently located on one site. Our elementary school was built and opened to our K-3 student population in the 2016/17 school year. Altoona Elementary School, which is located less than a mile east at 157 Bartlett Avenue, replaced Pedersen Elementary School.  In the fall of 2020, we opened the Altoona Early Education Center at 745 Bartlett Avenue.  We are fortunate to have 4K classrooms on-site so we can ensure our youngest learners begin their educational careers together and in high quality programming.
