Noble St Charter-The Noble Academy

Q: Is Noble St Charter-The Noble Academy a good school?

Noble St Charter-The Noble Academy ranks 510 th of 697 Illinois high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Noble St Charter-The Noble Academy is a public charter high school located in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 597 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Noble St Charter-The Noble Academy has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rates, dropping from 96.7% in 2019-2020 to 88.4% in 2023-2024, this is still lower than the nearby Payton College Preparatory High School (95.3%) and Lincoln Park High School (87.0%). The school's performance on standardized tests is also significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 3.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics and 16.3% proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 48.3% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the nearby Payton College Preparatory High School (25.1%) and Lincoln Park High School (59.3%).

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.08% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may contribute to the challenges it faces. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $22,001 in 2022-2023, this does not seem to have translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's location in a high-poverty area of Chicago, as well as its association with the lower-performing Chicago Public Schools District 299, may present unique challenges that require a more comprehensive approach involving the district, community, and other stakeholders to address the school's underperformance and drive sustainable improvements.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
