Summary

East Noble Middle School is a public middle school in Kendallville, Indiana, serving 767 students in grades 6–8 as part of the East Noble School Corporation. For 2025–2026, it ranked 246 of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 49th percentile, with a 2-star rating — while its district ranked 215 of 374 districts (43rd percentile, 2 stars). The school's standing has climbed steadily, from the 33rd percentile in 2022–2023 to 42nd, then 44th, and now 49th. That is meaningful progress, even though the school remains in the state's middle tier and trails several nearby schools such as Prairie Heights Middle School (58th percentile), Carroll Middle School (76th), and Maple Creek Middle School (88th).

Attendance is East Noble's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism fell to 9.0% in 2024–2025, down from 23.8% in 2020–2021, and is better than the district's 9.4% and far below the state's 16.7%. It also compares well regionally, beating Carroll Middle School (11.0%), DeKalb Middle School (13.2%), and Prairie Heights Middle School (15.0%). About 38.07% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, and the school spent $11,253 per student in 2023–2024 with a student-teacher ratio of 13.4 — more favorable inputs than several higher-performing nearby schools, though that alone has not produced similar results.

Academics are uneven. English language arts is the biggest challenge: all-grade ELA proficiency was 32.55%, the lowest among the nearby comparison schools, and below state marks in grades 6 (34.65%), 7 (29.51%), and 8 (33.6%). Math proficiency was 33.01% and science 40.97%, a relative internal strength that is up from 23.64% in 2022–2023. Sixth-grade math is a bright spot at 47.14%, above the state's 40.2%, but it fades to 27.46% in 7th grade and 25.6% in 8th — suggesting the school's priorities are sustaining early math gains and strengthening reading across all three grades.
