Noble Academy Middle School

Q: Is Noble Academy Middle School a good school?

Noble Academy Middle School ranks 401 st of 545 Minnesota middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Noble Academy Middle School is a public charter school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 126 students. The school has a unique racial makeup, with 89.68% of its students identifying as Asian, 7.94% as African American, and the remaining 2.38% as Hispanic, two or more races, or other racial backgrounds.

While Noble Academy's academic performance, as measured by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is generally lower than the state and district averages, the school appears to be performing relatively well in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student populations. However, when compared to nearby schools like Anoka Middle School For The Arts, Brooklyn Middle STEAM School, and North View Middle School, Noble Academy's academic performance lags behind these institutions, with lower proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science, as well as a lower overall Anoka-Hennepin School District ranking.

The school's unique racial composition, with a predominantly Asian student population, and its relatively high percentage of students (65.08% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds, may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to more affluent neighboring schools in the Osseo Public School District. Additionally, Noble Academy's higher student-teacher ratio (18.6 in 2022-2023) compared to some of the nearby schools may impact the level of individualized attention and support available to students.

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.
