Original Research by School Decision on Noble Academy-cleveland
Noble Academy-Cleveland is a charter school serving kindergarten through eighth grade in Euclid, a working-class inner-ring suburb of Cleveland on Lake Erie. The school enrolls a small student body, nearly all of them African American, and serves grades where state testing is conducted in math, English language arts, and science.
Academic performance on Ohio's State Tests shows proficiency rates below the midpoint for districts in Cuyahoga County. In math, roughly one-third of tested students scored at proficient levels or above. English language arts performed somewhat better at roughly two in five students proficient, and science proficiency was similar to math. The school participates fully in state assessments with near-complete testing participation. State data from an earlier period showed stronger proficiency in fourth-grade social studies, though more recent social studies results are not available. Trend data are limited to a single year, so the direction of performance over time cannot be assessed.
The school is newly equipped with improved facilities. A dedicated gymnasium opened for the 2024-25 school year, providing dedicated space for physical education, assemblies, and community events. A major round of campus improvements completed by late 2025 addressed safety, sustainability, technology, and accessibility, including a complete rebuild of an east entrance that had been unusable for years. These upgrades affect the daily physical environment and access students experience.
The enrollment is small and stable across grades, with numbers relatively consistent from kindergarten through eighth grade. Demographic data show the student body is overwhelmingly African American, with very small populations of Hispanic and white students and a small share identifying as multiracial. Free or reduced price lunch participation data were not available, making it difficult to assess economic need. Special education enrollment counts and English learner counts were also not reported.
Euclid itself is a majority-African-American city focused on waterfront revitalization. The city has invested substantially in a public lakefront trail, parks, and shoreline restoration, and is working to tie those amenities to a downtown retail and civic core anchored by the library and cultural center. The local economy centers on health care, retail, and manufacturing, with Lincoln Electric as a major employer. Housing values in the zip code are below the state median, and the city experienced population decline over recent decades, though current development activity suggests renewal efforts underway.
Noble Academy is the only school reporting in this charter district. It operates independently of Euclid City Schools, which maintains separate elementary and secondary campuses, the latter of which opened in 2022 with amenities like a pool and planetarium. Parents choosing between Noble Academy and Euclid's traditional public schools would be evaluating a smaller, charter-model environment against larger district facilities and offerings. A parent considering Noble Academy would benefit from discussing current academic support and curriculum approach with school staff, particularly given the proficiency gaps evident in state testing, and understanding how the new facilities and infrastructure changes are being integrated into instructional practice.
