Summary

West Noble Elementary School in Ligonier, Indiana, serves 473 students in grades 2–4 as part of the West Noble School Corporation. In 2025–26 it ranks 591 of 1,015 Indiana schools (42nd percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranks 222 of 374 (41st percentile, 2 stars). That is a meaningful step up: the school sat at the 25th–26th percentile with 1 star in 2023–24 and 2024–25, and the 42nd percentile is its best recent showing since 2017–18.

Context matters. In 2024–25, 62.37% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch — the highest rate among nearby schools with recent data — yet per-student spending was $10,602, lower than most neighbors, including Rome City Elementary School ($12,786) and Syracuse Elementary School ($12,147). Chronic absenteeism was 8.4%, better than the district (11.6%) and state (16.7%), down sharply from 26.5% in 2021–22. One flag: West Noble Primary School, which feeds this school, has 14.4% chronic absenteeism.

Math is the bright spot. All-grades math proficiency of 51.25% beats the district's 40.28%, and 4th-grade math (56.43%) tops the state's 52%. English/language arts lags at 31.9%, below both district and state, with 3rd grade at 33.09% and 4th grade at 30.71%. Science rose to 33.57% from 12.23% in 2022–23 but trails the state's 43.8%. Results hold up well against Millersburg Elementary School (21.96% poverty) and Central Noble Elementary School, and beat Rome City in both ELA and math. Because grade spans differ, comparisons with K–6 and PK–5 schools are approximate.

The students and teachers work extremely hard, but there many students to whom English is a second language. The students work hard to overcome this challenge, but it is easier for some than others. Close Quote
