Summary

East Noble Middle School is a public middle school located in Kendallville, Indiana, serving 786 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the East Noble School Corporation, which is ranked 191 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While East Noble Middle School has a higher per-student spending compared to the state average, the school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.4% of all students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.5% for 6th grade, 37.9% for 7th grade, and 42.7% for 8th grade. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.1% to 19.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be contributing to the lower academic performance.

When comparing East Noble Middle School to nearby schools, such as Leo Elementary School, which is part of the East Allen County Schools district, it becomes evident that East Noble Middle School is underperforming academically. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.75% to 54.02% over the past few years, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's academic performance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and a focus on continuous improvement could help East Noble Middle School better serve its students and community.
