Summary

Nokomis School is an elementary school in Holbrook, New York, serving 461 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Sachem Central School District, which is ranked 524 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nokomis School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state. In 3rd grade, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district in English Language Arts and Math. However, its proficiency rates were lower than the district and state in 4th and 5th grade. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 675 out of 2,366 New York elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1,721 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in performance relative to other schools. Nokomis School has also struggled with lower rankings for certain student subgroups, such as White, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While Nokomis School's spending per student has increased significantly, from $16,650 in 2020-2021 to $31,443 in 2023-2024, this has not translated into consistent improvements in academic performance. Nearby schools, such as Tamarac Elementary School and Cayuga School, have consistently outperformed Nokomis School in state assessments, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning at Nokomis School.
