Noble Elementary

Summary:

Noble Elementary is a public elementary school located in Golden Valley, Minnesota, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Robbinsdale Public School District.

While Noble Elementary has a diverse student population, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments, particularly for Hispanic and low-income students. Only 18.03% of students were proficient or better in Math in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 45.47% statewide and 26.22% in the Robbinsdale district. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families (68.56%) may contribute to these challenges, though its relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that targeted interventions could potentially help improve student outcomes.

In contrast, other schools in the area, such as the School of Engineering-Arts at Olson, which is also part of the Robbinsdale district, perform significantly better than Noble Elementary, ranking in the top 15% of Minnesota elementary schools. Similarly, Meadowbrook Elementary in the neighboring Hopkins Public School District outperforms Noble on academic measures and has a much lower percentage of students from low-income families.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I am a parent and a teacher educator. In my neighborhood, most parents who are not educators send their kids to Hopkins. Of the 8 educators in my neighborhood who I know, all of them send their kids to Robbinsdale. That says something. (tips...Visit the schools. Go INTO the classrooms. Be a public school advocate. Consider seriously the implications of white flight.) Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
