Noble Minds

The data set provided information about a single elementary public charter school, Noble Minds, located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 106 students, Noble Minds faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and social studies.

Compared to the state, Noble Minds struggles academically, with mathematics proficiency ranging from 11% to 30% proficient, compared to the state average of 59% to 65%. In English language arts, the school's proficiency rates are also lower than the state, but the gap is smaller, ranging from 26% to 77% proficient, compared to the state average of 66% to 71%. Additionally, the school's social studies proficiency rates are lower than the state, ranging from 11% to 63% proficient, compared to the state average of 42% to 53%. These academic performance challenges are reflected in the school's low statewide ranking, placing between 398 and 706 out of 675 to 730 Louisiana elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 0 to 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (72.64% receive free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1 could be a potential strength, suggesting opportunities for more individualized attention and support. To address these issues, Noble Minds may need to implement significant interventions and improvements, including a comprehensive review and implementation of evidence-based strategies to drive sustained improvement in student learning and achievement.
