Summary:
ZIP code 46701, which covers Albion, Indiana, has just one elementary school in this data set: Central Noble Elementary School, a 247-student school serving grades 2–4 as part of Central Noble Com School Corp.
Academically, math is the clearest bright spot. In 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 52.8%, well above the district's 37.07%, and it rose sharply from 36.76% the prior year. Fourth-grade math (53.66%) edged past the state's 52%, while third-grade math (51.9%) matched the state exactly. English Language Arts is the main weakness: third-grade ELA was 32.91% against the state's 40.8%, and fourth-grade ELA was 29.27% against the state's 42.2%. All-grade ELA (31.06%) was only slightly above the district (28.92%), suggesting district-wide ELA challenges rather than a school-specific issue. Science came in at 39.02% for all grades, below the state's 43.8% at fourth grade, though it improved from 34.12% a year earlier.
Attendance stands out as a major strength. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 7.3%, slightly better than the district's 7.6% and less than half the state's 16.7%. About 50.61% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $12,128, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.7. The school's rank percentile improved from 33 in 2024–2025 to 45 in 2025–2026, though it remains below the midpoint and holds a 2-star rating for the third straight reported year. In short, Central Noble Elementary offers strong math results and excellent attendance, with ELA proficiency the area most in need of improvement.
