Central Noble Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 8.6% in 2020-2021 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Central Noble Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Topeka Elementary School, which is part of the Westview School Corporation, the data suggests that factors beyond just the school district may be contributing to the academic performance of these schools. Additionally, the free and reduced-price lunch rates at Central Noble Elementary School, ranging from 38.43% to 55.06%, indicate that the school serves a significant population of students from lower-income households, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
