574^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 620 Illinois High Schools

Better than 7% of Illinois high schools

Summary

Noble St Charter-Baker Campus is a small Chicago public high school serving 285 students in grades 9–12. Its results are mixed: the school has some stronger showings against nearby schools, but achievement remains well below city and state benchmarks. The clearest concern is academic proficiency: in 2025–26, just 15% of 11th graders were proficient in English language arts, compared with 39% in Chicago Public Schools District 299 and 50% statewide.

Baker’s strongest local academic result is ninth-grade ELA: 37% were proficient, more than at Art in Motion Charter School (32%), EPIC Academy High School (31%), and Chicago Vocational Career Academy High School (28%), though below South Shore International Col Prep High School (60%). Science scores also topped several nearby schools in some grades, but remained below district and state levels. Attendance is a serious challenge: chronic absenteeism was 54%, versus 39% districtwide and 24% statewide, though below the nearby-school average of 66%. Graduation is a relative local strength: 75% was below district and state rates of 83% and 90%, but 12 points above the nearby-school average.

Baker’s overall SchoolDigger standing has weakened: it fell from the 25th statewide percentile in 2018–19 to the 7th in 2025–26, with a further drop from the 11th percentile the previous year; SchoolDigger gives it 0 stars. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 77% in 2021–22 to 54% in 2025–26, but remains high. For context, the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.8, below the nearby average of 20.6, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings include sharp contrasts: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 83rd percentile in 2024–25, compared with 11th overall; Special Education Students fell from the 32nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 3rd in 2024–25, a much steeper decline than the overall ranking.
