Summary

West Noble Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ligonier, Indiana, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 488 students. The school is part of the West Noble School Corporation, which is ranked 226 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Noble Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% to 19.7% over the past few years, its academic performance is a significant concern. The school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Math are consistently below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.19% of students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 26.68% and the state average of 40.3% for 3rd grade and 41.4% for 4th grade. Similarly, in ILEARN/Math, the school's proficiency rate of 43.57% is lower than the district average of 41.36% and the state averages of 51.5% for 3rd grade and 49.2% for 4th grade. Additionally, West Noble Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.39% to 67.62% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools like Benton Elementary School (23.7%) and Millersburg Elementary-Middle School (25%).

Despite the relatively high spending per student at West Noble Elementary School, ranging from $9,967 to $10,602 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains below average. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and other factors, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may also play a crucial role. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, such as attendance-improvement programs, enhanced instructional strategies, and additional support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
