Summary

Noble St Charter-ITW Speer Academy is a public charter high school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 1,109 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.

Over the past 5 years, Noble St Charter-ITW Speer Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools, with a SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 1 and 3 stars out of 5. The school's performance is particularly strong for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois high schools for this subgroup. However, the school struggles with the performance of female, male, special education, and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois high schools for these subgroups. The school's four-year graduation rate has been on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, and its dropout rate is also comparable.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, Noble St Charter-ITW Speer Academy generally performs better than Foreman High School and Kelvyn Park High School, but lags behind Prosser Career Academy High School and Noble St Charter-Pritzker Col Prep. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past 5 years, is a significant concern and may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance.
