Promise Road Elementary

Q: Is Promise Road Elementary a good school?

Promise Road Elementary ranks 259 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Promise Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Noblesville, Indiana, serving 749 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Noblesville Schools district, which is ranked 21 out of 381 districts in the state.

While Promise Road Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like North Elementary and Stony Creek Elementary, its academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school's math performance is stronger, with a proficiency rate higher than the district average. Promise Road Elementary also experiences higher chronic absenteeism rates and has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

Despite these challenges, Promise Road Elementary has increased its spending per student over the years, from $7,263 in 2018-2019 to $9,237 in 2020-2021, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.9 to 17 students per teacher in recent years. These factors suggest the school is making efforts to address its academic performance and support its diverse student population.

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.
