Summary:

The school's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 114th out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 to 25th out of 98 in 2021-2022.
Academically, Nokomis Regional High School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below the regional and state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also quite high at 39.5%, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population, 41.32%, is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a sizable economically disadvantaged student body.
Despite these challenges, Nokomis Regional High School maintains a diverse student population, with 90.22% of students identifying as white and the remaining 9.78% representing a mix of Hispanic, African American, Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, and multiracial backgrounds. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, which could be an asset in providing more personalized attention to students. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies and interventions to address the academic and attendance issues could provide valuable insights for the Regional School Unit 19 community.
