Summary:
The 46767 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the West Noble School Corporation district. While some schools, such as West Noble Middle School and West Noble High School, show pockets of stronger performance, the overall trend suggests a need for the district to closely examine the factors contributing to the underperformance and implement targeted strategies to improve academic outcomes for all students.
The data reveals that the schools in the 46767 zip code area generally perform below the state averages in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math proficiency across grade levels. However, West Noble Middle School stands out, ranking 225 out of 489 Indiana middle schools and having a relatively high proficiency rate in ILEARN Math for 8th grade at 54%, compared to the Indiana average of 34.5%. Similarly, West Noble High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4% for the 2023-2024 school year and performs better than the district and state averages in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, with 48.5% proficiency compared to the state's 54.5%.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,465 to $12,149, and low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.6 to 17.2 students per teacher, the academic performance of the schools remains below state averages. This raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need to explore other factors that may be contributing to the underperformance, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all the schools in the data set.
