Transforming ChiCago

Chicago’s highest performing open enrollment high schools

The foundaTion of nobleFor more than a decade, Noble has delivered an

outstanding public education to low-income high school

students in Chicago. Noble’s founders – Michael and

Tonya Milkie – were former Chicago public high school

teachers who believed their students could reach higher

levels of academic achievement and discipline, and

they committed themselves to creating a better kind

of school. Noble is founded on a model with many

of the principles that have been successful in private

enterprise:

• Noble leaders have the freedom to differentiate compensation and recognize teachers for student

achievement.

• Noble’s data-driven culture is supported by

a sophisticated dashboard that provides daily

performance data to Noble staff and parents.

• 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. FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011
