Summary

Noble Elementary is a K–5 school with 370 students in San Jose’s Berryessa area, part of the Berryessa Union Elementary district. Its 2025–2026 results were above California averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but below the district average in all three. The biggest concern is that proficiency has fallen across all three subjects in each of the four reported years, even though results remain above state averages.

Math is Noble’s strongest subject relative to the state, district and nearby-school averages: 53% of students were proficient, 15 points above the state and 1 point below the district, as well as 7 points above the average for nine nearby schools. Science is the clearest local weakness: 39% were proficient, 9 points below the district and 1 point below the nearby-school average, though 3 points above the state. ELA proficiency was 54%—5 points above the state and nearby-school averages, but 9 points below the district. Among nearby schools, Ruskin Elementary stands out, with 73% proficiency in ELA, 74% in math and 70% in science.

The declines since 2022–2023 were substantial: 17 percentage points in ELA, 14 in math and 14 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Noble 1,705th of 5,804 California schools, at the 71st percentile with 4 stars; its percentile fell from 88 in 2023–2024. One notable subgroup result is Hispanic Students: SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well Noble serves this group is at the 27th percentile, down from 71 in 2023–2024. Context for families: the student-teacher ratio was 23.3 in 2024–2025, and 24% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18%.
