Summary:
Noble Academy-Cleveland is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 349 students. While the school aims to provide a quality education, the data reveals significant challenges in its academic performance and student engagement.
Noble Academy-Cleveland's test scores consistently lag behind the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates well below the state benchmarks. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.6% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to the 63.4% state average. Similarly, the school's 8th grade math proficiency rate of 35.9% fell short of the 47.6% state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 36.8% is significantly higher than the state's, indicating a concerning issue with student engagement and attendance.
Despite the school's small student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and per-student spending of $7,200, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Noble Academy-Cleveland is ranked 623 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and is rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and improving instructional quality will likely be crucial focus areas for the school's leadership and the broader community.
