Summary

Noble St Charter-DRW Trading College Prep is a Chicago high school serving 323 students in grades 9–12 in Chicago Public Schools District 299. Its test results often compare favorably with nearby schools, but remain below state results in the grades and subjects reported. The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism: 64% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 39% districtwide and 24% statewide.

The school’s strongest current test comparisons are in 10th grade, while ninth-grade ELA is a clear weakness. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA was 42%, matching the district and sitting 12 points below the state; science was 36%, close to the district’s 37% but 12 points below the state. Ninth-grade ELA was 28%, 24 points below the district and 34 below the state. In the available nearby-school comparisons, DRW also scored above North Lawndale Prep Charter - Christiana in 10th-grade ELA and science. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate of 84% was close to the district’s 83%, but below the state’s 90%.

Results are moving in different directions by grade: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA rose 12 points and science rose 25, while ninth-grade ELA fell 10 points. Chronic absenteeism has also improved, dropping 20 points since 2021–2022, though it remains high. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 18th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, with 1 star; its overall percentile was 13 in 2024–2025. The school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 11.5:1, and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show stronger relative standing for African American students (50th percentile in 2025–2026, versus 18th overall) and homeless students (66th percentile in 2024–2025, versus 13th overall), indicating better statewide relative performance for those groups than the overall ranking suggests. Current math results cannot be assessed because school scores were suppressed.
