Central Noble Elementary School

Summary:

Central Noble Elementary School is a public elementary school in Albion, Indiana, serving 247 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Central Noble Community School Corporation, which is ranked 185 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Central Noble Elementary School has seen improvements in chronic absenteeism, it faces several challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.9%) compared to surrounding schools, and its performance on ILEARN assessments is generally below state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27.27% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 31.38% and the state's 38.6-41.8% for individual grade levels. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 39.15% in 2021-2022 to 55.06% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other local schools, Central Noble Elementary School lags behind in academic performance. Topeka Elementary School, part of the Westview School Corporation, and Northern Heights Elementary School, part of the Whitley County Consolidated Schools district, both outperform Central Noble Elementary School on ILEARN assessments. However, the school has seen an increase in spending per student, from $8,437 in 2019-2020 to $12,027 in 2021-2022, which may indicate a focus on addressing these challenges.

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.
