Noble High School

Public Grades 8-12

Summary

Noble High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in the Regional School Unit 60/Maine School Admin District 60, located in North Berwick, Maine. With an enrollment of 1,170 students, the school has been ranked between 31st and 79th out of Maine high schools over the past 10 years, currently ranking 72nd out of 121 for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Noble High School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages, its four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 87.3% to 93.8% in recent years, which is on par with or slightly lower than the state and district averages. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.7% to 27.8%, compared to the state and district. Additionally, Noble High School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 24.4% to 28.46% in recent years, than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as York High School and Kennebunk High School, Noble High School generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past few years, from a high of 31st out of 111 Maine high schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 72nd out of 121, suggests that it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its performance compared to other schools in the state.

When I transferred to this school after my family moved to the area, the very first thing a recent graduate told me was "I'm so sorry".

He was correct. I graduated in 2017 and out of every school I've gone to I can say I am ashamed I graduated from this one. Close Quote

I went here and it was AWFUL. I dropped out for 6 months (when it wasn't legal )and they didn't care, didn't try to contact my dad about it or anything. The teachers targeted me because I had a 504 and treated me like I was stupid. The administration doesn't do anything about bullying or fighting, they let the bully get away and the victim gets punished. Even after I transferred to a new school, I was going to prom with my boyfriend. I messaged the prom prep person and she called me stupid. This school is terrible. Close Quote
