About our community:
Altoona is located in west central Wisconsin in the heart of the Chippewa Valley. Contiguous to Eau Claire, Altoona is a community of 7,800 residents and home to about 581 businesses. The Altoona school district serves a student population of just over 1,700 students and covers just 14.79 square miles.
The school district includes the City of Altoona, a portion of the Town of Washington and to a much smaller extent the Town of Lincoln and City of Eau Claire. The district extends six miles to the east, south to highway AA, southwest to Otter Creek. The northern border is Lake Altoona. Fairfax Avenue is the district's western limit.
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. The fourth school, a state of art elementary school was built and opened to our K-3 student population in the 2016/17 school year. Altoona Elementary School, which is located just two miles east at 157 Bartlett Avenue, replaced Pedersen Elementary School.
