Noxon School's performance on standardized tests is below the state average, with only 35.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 34.21% in math, and 16.67% in science, compared to state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively.

Despite these challenges, Noxon School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.1 to 1.

The data also reveals that Noxon School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.
