Summary

Noble Minds is a public charter elementary school serving 159 students in grades K-8 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The school has a low ranking within the state, ranking in the bottom 10% of Louisiana elementary schools in recent years and receiving a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance.

Noble Minds consistently underperforms the state average on LEAP assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 7% of 4th graders were proficient or better in math compared to 65% statewide. The school also struggles to serve its student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Noble Minds has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.8% to 33.1% in recent years, and has reported dropout rates as high as 4.3%, which is concerning for an elementary school.

When compared to other nearby charter schools like Wilson Charter School, Lafayette Academy Charter School, and Benjamin Franklin Elementary Math and Science, Noble Minds significantly underperforms academically. These schools have higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings. While Noble Minds generally struggles, there are a few bright spots, such as 7th grade math proficiency reaching 42% in 2024-2025, which is better than the state average. However, these pockets of higher performance are the exception rather than the norm.
