Summary:
Noble Minds is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 159 students. Based on the available data, Noble Minds does not appear to be a standout school, as its performance metrics are significantly below the state averages for Louisiana.
The school's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are considerably lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Mathematics, Noble Minds had a 22% proficiency rate compared to the state's 47%. Similarly, the school's ELA proficiency rates, while slightly better, still lag behind the state, with 61% proficiency in 8th grade compared to the state's 70%. Additionally, Noble Minds has a concerning 3.3% dropout rate and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% compared to the state average.
The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past few years, dropping from a ranking of 398 out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools and a 2-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year to a ranking of 657 out of 666 and a 0-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that Noble Minds is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.25% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and the school's high student-teacher ratio of 159:1.
