Summary:
ZIP code 46062 in Noblesville, Indiana is home to three public elementary schools — Noble Crossing Elementary School, Hinkle Creek Elementary School, and Hazel Dell Elementary School — all serving grades PK–5 and all part of Noblesville Schools, a district in the 90th percentile statewide (5 stars, 38th of 374). Together they enroll 2,418 students, and all three rank in the top 15% of Indiana elementaries, so families here are choosing within an already high-performing group rather than between strong and weak schools.
Each school has a distinct profile. Hinkle Creek is the steadiest, never falling below the 87th percentile in three years, and has by far the smallest classes at 14.0 students per teacher; it leads the group in English/language arts (63.75%) while trailing in math. Hazel Dell has the highest ceiling — a 55th-in-state peak (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023-24 and a three-year average of 91.7 percentile — plus the top 5th-grade Social Studies score in the data at 74.19%, but it has slid fastest, from 95th to 87th percentile, and finished last of the three in Science (59.63%). Noble Crossing is the largest (891) and leanest ($10,288 per student) and is the only one below its own district average in ELA (55.81% vs. 59.61%), with the biggest one-year ELA drop (−12.3 points); yet it posted the highest single score anywhere, 4th-grade Math at 78.23%, and its 3rd-grade ELA (43.45%) is the one genuine soft spot, sitting just 2.65 points above the state.
Attendance is the shared strength: 4.8%, 5.7%, and 7.1% chronic absenteeism, against 9.3% for the district and 16.7% statewide — the group average of 5.87% is roughly a third of the state rate. Notably, spending and class size don't track with results here: Noble Crossing spends the least and runs the largest classes yet leads in math and science. All three also dipped in the latest rankings and earned 4 stars rather than 5, a synchronized shift that looks district- or cohort-wide.
