NOKOMIS SCHOOL

Nokomis School is a public elementary school that is part of the Medford Lakes School District school district, located in Medford Lakes, NJ with about 177 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. With about 13 teachers, Nokomis School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Nokomis Elementary School, located in the pinelands community of Medford Lakes, New Jersey, serves students in grades K–2. As part of the Medford Lakes School District, the school is deeply integrated into the unique, small-town atmosphere of the borough. It places a strong emphasis on fostering a supportive, nurturing environment tailored to the developmental needs of young children, focusing on foundational academic skills, social-emotional growth, and early literacy.

The school is well-regarded for its tight-knit community feel, which is supported by the town's distinct rustic setting and active parent involvement. Nokomis works in close partnership with the district’s upper-elementary school, Chairville, to create a seamless educational transition for students. By prioritizing a "whole child" approach, the school aims to instill a love of learning early on, preparing its youngest residents for future academic success within the Medford Lakes educational system.
