Summary:
The 62075 zip code area has only one elementary school, North Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Nokomis CUSD 22 district. While the school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2024-2025, its academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages.
In 2024-2025, North Elementary School's ELA proficiency rate of 47.4% lagged behind the district's 57.5% and the state's 53.1%. However, the school outperformed the district and state in Math, with 41.2% of students proficient or better, compared to 41.6% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also excelled in Science, with 56.8% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, matching the district average and exceeding the state's 40.6%.
Despite these strengths, the school faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 41.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are within typical ranges, suggesting that factors beyond funding and staffing may be influencing its performance. Overall, North Elementary School's mixed academic results and declining statewide ranking indicate the need for further analysis and potential improvements to support student success.
