Noyes Elementary School

Summary:

Noyes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Washington, DC, serving 241 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) district, which is ranked 26 out of 47 districts in DC and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Noyes Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and overall school quality. The school consistently underperforms the DCPS and District of Columbia averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 3rd graders at Noyes were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 35% for DCPS and 28.2% for the district. Additionally, Noyes has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of DC elementary schools, with a ranking of 95 out of 126 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the high spending of $32,520 per student in the 2022-2023 school year, which is the highest among nearby schools like Langdon Elementary and Burroughs Elementary, Noyes has not been able to translate this into improved academic outcomes. The school's unique demographic, with over 80% of its students being African American, may be a factor in understanding its performance and the needs of its students. Comparing Noyes to the more diverse student populations and higher-performing nearby schools suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies to help improve the educational outcomes for the students at Noyes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
