Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col

Summary:

Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col is a public charter high school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 352 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.

Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 5.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics and 3.5% proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts. These scores are significantly lower than the Chicago Public Schools District 299 (18.6% and 22.4%, respectively) and the Illinois state averages (26.1% and 31.1%, respectively). The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 92.9% in 2020-2021 to 79.2% in 2023-2024, though this is still higher than the nearby Manley Career Academy High School (26.7%) and YCCS-Latino Youth Alternative High School (20.7%).

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($27,959 in 2022-2023) and low student-teacher ratio (11.7 in 2022-2023), the academic performance remains a concern. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also very high, reaching 68.9% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 45.4% at Phoenix Military Academy High School to 92.6% at YCCS-Latino Youth Alternative High School. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col.

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.
