Summary:
Noble Academy-Cleveland is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Noble Academy-Cleveland district, with 359 students enrolled. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged.
Academically, Noble Academy-Cleveland struggles, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was just 26.5% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 64%. Additionally, the school had an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which can further hinder student learning and achievement.
The data suggests that the challenges faced by Noble Academy-Cleveland are closely tied to the socioeconomic status of its student population, with 73.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, this advantage does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the school's persistent underperformance will likely require a comprehensive approach involving targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement.
