Noble Elementary School

Summary:

Noble Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 403 students in grades PK-5 in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District. The school has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on Ohio State Tests, with proficiency rates lower than the district and state in most subject areas. However, Noble stands out in its performance for certain student subgroups, ranking among the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools for African American students and Special Education students.

One key area of concern for Noble Elementary is its high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.8% to 41.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. When comparing Noble to nearby schools, similar patterns emerge, with Boulevard Elementary School and Gearity Professional Development School also performing poorly on academic measures. Interestingly, Apex Academy, a public charter school near Noble, outperforms the school in most subject areas, despite serving a student population that is even more predominantly African American.

Despite the additional funding of approximately $16,296 per student, which is higher than the state average, Noble Elementary School's academic challenges persist. Addressing the underlying factors, such as chronic absenteeism and the unique needs of the student population, will be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and providing a high-quality education for its 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.
