Summary:
The Nokomis CUSD 22 district in Illinois has two schools - Nokomis Junior/Senior High School serving grades 6-12 and North Elementary School serving grades PK-5. While the high school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, North Elementary has seen its ranking decline, but has higher math and science proficiency than the state average.
Nokomis Junior/Senior High School has a strong 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate, both better than district and state levels. However, the school struggles with math proficiency, lagging behind the state average. North Elementary, on the other hand, has lower English Language Arts proficiency than the district and state, but higher math and science scores in certain grades. Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates around 25.4%.
Funding disparities may play a role, as Nokomis Junior/Senior High spends $16,271 per student compared to $12,466 per student at North Elementary. Addressing these resource differences, as well as targeting interventions to improve performance in core subjects and reduce chronic absenteeism, could be important focus areas for the district to ensure equitable and high-quality education for all students.
