Summary

Noble Academy Elementary is a K–6 school in Brooklyn Park, MN serving 395 students as part of the Noble Academy district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 638 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — 27th percentile with 1 star, placing it in the state's bottom quartile. Its district ranked 359 of 458 (22nd percentile, 1 star). Rank history shows a long decline from 43rd percentile in 2017–2018 to a low of 15th percentile in 2020–2021, then a modest recovery to the 25th–27th percentile range from 2023–2024 through 2025–2026, still at 1 star.

In 2025–2026, proficiency was below state in every core subject: math 40.6% vs. 44.9% state, reading 32.0% vs. 48.6%, and science 11.3% vs. 25.5%. Math is the relative bright spot, up from 30.77% in 2022–2023, with 3rd and 5th grade math close to state; 4th grade (39.3% vs. 55.2%) and 6th grade (28.1% vs. 39.5%) lag. Reading is the clearest weakness, below state in every grade, with large gaps in 4th (23.0% vs. 48.8%) and 6th (31.6% vs. 53.4%). Among 11 nearby schools, Noble ranks 8th: it trails Rice Lake Elementary, Woodland Elementary, Nasha Shkola Charter School, Oxbow Creek Elementary (81st percentile, 4 stars) and others, but outperforms Park Brook Elementary, Athlos Leadership Academy, and Edinbrook Elementary.

Noble's standout strength is its English Language Learner subgroup, ranked 24 of 305 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 — top 8% statewide for three straight years. Low-income students improved from about the 45th percentile to the 61st percentile (3 stars). Science is a concern: Noble was above state at 40.91% in 2023–2024, then fell to 15.0% and 11.3%. Context matters: 68.86% of students receive free/reduced lunch, and the 19.3 student-teacher ratio is the highest among nearby schools (others range from 14.0 to 18.3). Nasha Shkola Charter School serves more low-income students yet posts higher reading and math, suggesting poverty alone does not determine results. The most urgent priorities appear to be reading across all grades and understanding the science drop.

Wonderful school. My children were well prepared for high school. I made the mistake of leaving the school for one year and could not return fast enough. Close Quote
