Noble St Charter-UIC College Prep

Summary:

Noble St Charter-UIC College Prep is a public charter high school in Chicago, Illinois that serves 906 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Over the past few years, Noble St Charter-UIC College Prep's performance has been mixed. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 151 out of 701 schools and a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a low of 539 out of 699 schools and a 1-star rating in 2021-2022. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.2% to 98.7%, and a low dropout rate of 0.1% to 4.6%. Chronic absenteeism has been a significant challenge, with rates ranging from 10.8% to 60.8%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests like the SAT and ISA have been lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Chicago Technology Academy High School and Crane Medical Prep High School, Noble St Charter-UIC College Prep generally outperforms them in terms of graduation rates and test scores, but struggles with higher chronic absenteeism. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 89.29% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite increased per-student spending, the school's student-teacher ratio remains relatively high, which may impact the level of individualized attention and support available to students.

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.
