Summary

Central Noble Elementary School is a 247-student school in Albion, Indiana serving grades 2–4, and it is part of Central Noble Com School Corp, a district ranked 225 of 374 in Indiana. The school itself ranked 557 of 1,015 in 2025–2026, placing it in the 45th percentile with 2 stars.

Academically, math is the strength and English Language Arts is the weakness. All-grades math proficiency was 52.8% in 2025–2026, well above the district's 37.07% and up from 36.76% a year earlier; third-grade math matched the state at 51.9%, and fourth-grade math was 53.66% versus the state's 52%. ELA was 31.06% across all grades, with third grade at 32.91% versus the state's 40.8% and fourth grade at 29.27% versus 42.2%. Science was 39.02%, above the district's 37.28% but below the state's 43.8% for fourth grade. The roughly 21.7-point math-over-ELA gap is among the largest of nearby schools, similar to West Noble Elementary School and Topeka Elementary School.

Beyond test scores, the school has real strengths. Chronic absenteeism was 7.3% in 2024–2025, below the district's 7.6% and far below the state's 16.7% — and better than Central Noble Primary School (11.0%) even though it serves more students from low-income families (50.61% free/reduced-price lunch vs. 38.24%). Its student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is below the nearby median of about 14.5, and per-student spending of $12,128 is mid-to-high among peers. Compared with its closest match, West Noble Elementary School — also grades 2–4 — Central Noble shows similar ELA, slightly higher math and science, lower absenteeism and poverty, higher spending, and smaller classes. Overall, attendance and resources look solid; reading is the main lever for moving up.
