Summary:
Noble Academy-Columbus is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Noble Academy-Columbus district, with 285 students enrolled. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments across multiple grade levels and subject areas, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%.
The student population at Noble Academy-Columbus is diverse, with 33.33% White, 41.4% African American, 14.74% Hispanic, 1.4% Asian, and 9.12% two or more races. However, a high percentage (86.67%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income population. The school's per-student spending was $7,600 in 2018-2019, and it had a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1 in 2022-2023.
While the small class sizes at Noble Academy-Columbus could be a potential strength, the data suggests that this factor alone has not been sufficient to drive improved academic outcomes. The school's performance on state assessments, particularly in subjects like Science and Mathematics, lags significantly behind state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and strategies to help close these gaps and support student success.
