Louine Noble El, Liberty Hill TX

Original Research by School Decision on Louine Noble El

Louine Noble is an early-elementary school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade in Liberty Hill, a fast-growing small town northwest of Austin in Williamson County. The school sits on Loop 332 just off the town center, in a residential area that is experiencing intense new housing development.

The school enrolls a moderate-sized student body with a student composition that is majority white, with substantial Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial enrollment, and a modest share qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. A notable share of students are English learners, though specific counts were not available in the reporting data. The enrollment spans seven grade bands from pre-K through fifth, with roughly similar cohort sizes across the grade span.

On state assessment results, the school shows uneven performance across subjects. In English Language Arts, results are relatively stronger, with measured proficiency in the upper range by third grade, continuing solidly through fourth and fifth. In mathematics, performance is noticeably weaker. Third-grade math proficiency sits at roughly half of students; fourth grade edges toward half; fifth grade slips to below half. Science, tested only in fifth grade, shows the school's weakest area, with proficiency well below half. Social studies proficiency measured across grades is below half overall, with particularly low rates of students demonstrating mastery-level performance. Across all tested subjects combined, about half of students meet or exceed proficiency. A parent may want to look into further with the school what math and science support looks like and whether the school has identified root causes behind these performance gaps.

The school operates within Liberty Hill ISD, a district managing rapid growth. The district passed major bond elections in 2021 and 2023 to build new campuses and expand facilities, addressing enrollment that has surged sharply. More recently the district faced budget constraints: voters rejected a tax election in 2024, triggering budget cuts, and the district moved to a four-day week in 2025-26 before reversing to mostly five-day weeks for 2026-27 after the state denied its staff-development waiver. These shifts in budget and calendar reflect real pressure on the district's resources and family routines.

The town itself is one of Williamson County's fastest-growing communities, with population rising sharply since 2020 and hundreds of new housing developments either under construction or in planning. The housing market reflects this growth: median home values have declined modestly year-over-year, but remain above state benchmarks, and rents are climbing. The broader area is becoming a retail hub as well, with major stores arriving along the Highway 29 corridor after decades when residents drove to Austin suburbs for shopping. Liberty Hill remains car-oriented and rural in character, though the historic downtown serves as a walkable community gathering place. The Liberty Hill Public Library operates as a library district aligned with school boundaries and sits in Lions Foundation Park near downtown.

The school does not have a dedicated website listed in available data. For current information about programs, schedules, and classroom-level support, direct contact with the school or district would be advisable, especially given the recent calendar changes and ongoing adjustments to staffing and resources.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
