Summary

Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col is a public charter high school in Chicago, Illinois that serves 372 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois high schools, with a statewide ranking between 574 and 654 over the past few years. Its performance is particularly low in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 69.7% to 89.0% over the past few years, which is lower than the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has also been relatively high, ranging from 2.4% to 7.1%. Additionally, Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 72.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as Manley Career Academy High School, North Lawndale Prep Charter-Collins, and Collins Academy High School, also perform poorly on academic metrics and have similar challenges with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the issues faced by Noble St Charter-DRW Trading Col are not unique but rather systemic within the district. Despite increased spending per student, from $21,892 in 2020-2021 to $28,163 in 2023-2024, the school has not seen significant improvements in academic outcomes or other key metrics.
