Noble Minds

Summary:

Noble Minds is a public charter elementary school serving 106 students in grades K-8 in the 70114 zip code of New Orleans, Louisiana. The school is part of the Orleans Parish district, which is ranked 111 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Noble Minds stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (83.02%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 37.54% to 94.11% African American. However, the school consistently underperforms the state and nearby schools on standardized test scores, with only 11% of 3rd graders proficient or better in LEAP Mathematics, compared to the state average of 62%. This pattern holds true across all grade levels and subject areas, and Noble Minds ranks in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for its performance on male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students.

In contrast, Audubon Charter School, which is ranked in the top 20% of Louisiana elementary schools, suggests that it is possible for public charter schools in the New Orleans area to achieve high levels of academic success, even with a diverse student population. The data for Noble Minds and the nearby schools also highlights significant challenges related to racial segregation and socioeconomic disparities in the New Orleans education system, with the nearby schools serving predominantly African American or predominantly white student populations and high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

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.
