*CPS figures include non-selective high schools.
• Noble shares best practices across the network which has resulted in improved academic performance as Noble has expanded. Noble is closing the academic gap for its students, most of whom enter ninth grade performing below grade level. Longer class periods, a longer school day, and a longer school year result in 10.6 more months of instructional time over a traditional Chicago public school throughout a student’s high school career. Noble has a relentless focus on student success, knowing a high-quality education will transform the lives and communities of Noble students for generations to come.
