Original Research by School Decision on Options Noblesville
Options Noblesville is a small charter school serving grades six through twelve, operating under the Options Charter Schools network. It is a nontraditional setting by design. The enrollment pattern alone signals a distinctive structure: the middle school grades are very sparse, with only a handful of students in each, and the high school grades grow steadily, with the senior class being the largest. This suggests that many students enter the school in ninth grade or later, a pattern that typically indicates a school serving students who have left or been pulled from a larger comprehensive setting. The total enrollment is modest for a secondary school.
The school's academic achievement, measured by state testing in the most recent year, shows no students scoring proficient in math or English language arts, and the science results are suppressed because the tested population was too small to report. The participation rate on the state assessments was around sixty percent, meaning a substantial share of enrolled students did not take the tests at all. Benchmarking across Hamilton County districts, the school's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile for the county. That placement is straightforward, but the school's mission and enrollment pattern provide essential context: a parent should understand that this is likely a school that takes students who have not been successful in conventional academic settings, and the test results reflect that population. A parent considering this school will want to ask directly about the academic supports in place and what the school's graduation pathways look like, since the state-reported proficiency numbers by themselves do not capture the school's approach.
The school's demographic profile is notable for the community it serves. The free-and-reduced-price lunch rate is modest for a charter school, with a small share of students qualifying. The student body is majority white, with smaller but present shares of Black, Hispanic, and multiracial students. Data on special education and English learner populations were not reported in the available information, which is a gap a parent may want to fill with the school directly.
Options Charter Schools opened a new Westfield campus in 2021, expanding the network's footprint in Hamilton County, and that campus shares the network's advertised fifteen-to-one student-teacher ratio and traditional school day schedule. The Noblesville campus operates under the same model.
The housing context for the school is the broader Noblesville market. The community is affluent by state and national standards, with home values well above Indiana's median and rents also elevated. Noblesville itself is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, a booming Indianapolis suburb with a historic downtown and extensive new residential and commercial development. The school is located on Cumberland Pointe Boulevard, on the city's east side, away from the downtown core, consistent with the suburban campus pattern common in the area.
For a family considering Options Noblesville, the central question is fit. This is not a school selected primarily for high state test scores; it is a small alternative setting that appears to serve students who need a fresh start or a less crowded environment in their secondary years. A parent whose child is struggling in a larger school, has fallen off pace academically, or simply needs a smaller, more individualized setting may find that the school's approach matches their needs. A parent whose priority is a strong record of state-tested academic performance will find the available data does not support that expectation, and they should investigate the school's actual offerings, graduation outcomes, and postsecondary supports before enrolling.
