Summary

Noble Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Cleveland Heights, OH, serving 408 students in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City district, which is ranked 516 of 773 Ohio districts (33rd percentile, 2 stars).

Noble Elementary School has improved over the past decade but recently plateaued. It moved from the 22nd–30th percentile range in the mid-2010s to the mid-30s in the early 2020s, peaked recently at the 37th percentile in 2024–2025, and slipped to the 32nd percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026. Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 24.6%, well below the district’s 37.9% and much better than Boulevard Elementary School (32.8%), Apex Academy (43.9%), Euclid Park Elementary School (44.0%), Mayfair Elementary School (46.5%), and Caledonia Elementary School (46.9%). It trails Canterbury Elementary School (12.6%), Gearity Professional Development School (21.4%), and Adrian Elementary School (21.7%). Among same-district peers, Canterbury Elementary School is the standout at the 71st percentile (4 stars); Boulevard Elementary School is slightly ahead at the 36th percentile, while Gearity Professional Development School (29th) and Oxford Elementary School (23rd) trail Noble Elementary School.

Achievement is uneven by grade and subject. Fourth-grade math (64.3% proficient) and fourth-grade ELA (53.6%) were relative bright spots in 2025–2026, and fifth-grade ELA (64.9%) was close to district and state levels. Fifth-grade math (35.7%) and science (43.9%), plus third-grade math (47.1%), remain below district and state averages; third-grade ELA (57.7%) trailed all four same-district peers. Noble Elementary School is the largest same-district elementary peer with 408 students and has a 17:1 student–teacher ratio, the highest in that group, along with high per-student spending ($16,296 in 2018–2019). Subgroup rankings are stronger for special education students than the school’s overall rank suggests, while low-SES and female subgroup rankings are less strong. Free/reduced-lunch percentages were not available, and spending data are older, so comparisons have limits.
