Its all-grades Math (51.25%) and 4th grade Math (56.43%, vs state 52%) are strengths, though ELA remains below state.
West Noble High School, the largest school at 742 students, graduates 91.7% of students versus the state's 89.7%, but its SAT ERW, SAT Math, and Biology results are below state averages — a gap between earning a diploma and meeting certain college-ready benchmarks.

Chronic absenteeism is below the state's 16.7% at every school and is especially low at the middle and elementary schools (8.4% each).
