Best decision I made was to send my two girls to this HS. Perfect size school to get the teaching and individualized help if needed. The teachers at this school truly care about my kids success!

What black students and special needs students experience/experienced at this school is a tragedy. I don’t want anyone else to have to experience what they went through. The climate of this school needs to change into a safe enviroment for ALL.

Students are not punished accordingly when misconduct occurs at the school. Students who are vulnerable are treated poorly which dimishes the value of the learning environment and decreases the quality of the education. No child should have to go to school trying to learn and be disrupted by rude and violent behavior, then when they have the courage to speak up, administration turn a blind eye. I would give 0 stars if possible.

Ive been to this school at least 30 times or more within the last 2 years as a Guest Teacher. On Thursday of last week something nice happened (again) and I said this place deserves a review. Again, that was Thursday; prior to me reading some of the negative descriptions of the schools atmosphere. Let me throw some truth at it. Friday was slated to be my last day as a Guest Teacher (by choice-new job) and I still showed up again today for my grand finale! My initial observation of NRCP was a mixed bag. Let me explain. I was filling in for an algebra class on the fly. Algebra is my absolute WORST subject and I always share that with staff and students. I gave myself a 20 minute refresher and hit the ground running. During the classes, I shared with them how I was bad at algebra and failed ending up in summer school. How overall I was a bad student when although Im extremely intelligent and was accepted into a Magnet program outside of my low ranking neighborhood schools. The students were captivated by what I had to say. Relieved that someone; another person understood that some of them didnt get it. Surprised at how honest I was about life. Everyone completed their assignments. The classroom was clean, well organized and not overcrowded. Because I use my cell phone for EVERYTHING, I had a bit of guilt and embarrassment that there I was using my phone in front of students who did not have the same privilege. In fact, at NRCP, students arent even allowed to transport bookbags. No bathroom use without permission and a chaperone. I left thinking....Damn this school is strict! The 180 of my experience personally and professionally is one of chaos. My teen behavior mirrored that of what I see going on now at some other schools which will not be named here. Ive never experienced a disrespectful student or staff at NRCP. Not one fight. But, lets be totally honest. There is at least 1 troublemaker in every class at every school. Im still trying to understand bullying in 2019 terms. When I was growing up, it came with the territory. Kids can and will find ANYTHING to tease someone about. I dont condone it, but the sensitivity to it these days comes with clouded perspectives. Racial bias? Wait.....Im Black. No one- teacher-staff-student has ever made me feel like I needed to call Al Sharpton for an intervention. Theyve all been so kind, receptive, helpful and professional to me and with the students. Never heard any gossip here. Nope. Not even on lunch. What Ive witnessed were other teachers asking their peers if they needed help. Co-teaching entire class sessions. One-on-one help by a students side. Filling in for absent teachers. Hallway counseling. Soliciting feedback about my day, lesson plans or behavior. If every school modeled NRCP, there would be less riots during and after school. It is my best guesstimation that if your kid didnt adjust well, then it might not be the institution. Hell, if they clown at home, then you know they clown at school and other places. Wait.....before someone rebuts, I was a kid and I raised a kid. Young BLACK male kid to be specific. The generosity extended to the special needs/behaviorally challenged kids is awesome. There are always 2 sides to every story and yes, instinctively parents side with their kids; however the damage done when doing so can negatively impact them and totally set them up for failure. Future students: if youre looking for a place to learn this is it. Post script: I concur! The band is amazing!!! 👍

Racist school with proof provided. dont go here until the administration is replaced with open minded non-conservatives. learn to treat everyone the same, not based on their race.

Review №11

Disrespectful & distasteful school. authority there needs to be enforced and replaced as well. learn to accommodate to students needs, and learn to see past color. racism at a school is not a safe environment for ANYBODY.

Riding the CTA everyday with the students is like a living hell. Students that go to this school and either take the Grand Ave bus or walk on Grand ave is absolutely disgusting that they have no respect or no manners. They should have a class that teaches them manners because they are not getting this at home! They walk on Grand Ave and trust me i get it its public but dont touch the door bells on the residence and run! The students get on the bus and are rude to the other passengers who are coming home from work. These students need some manners, they are not babies so grow up and join the real world. One day their rudeness will get them into trouble.

Extremely racist school, discriminates against students with special needs. Accepts all bullies and misconduct. An old grammar school friend of mines has a brother with special needs whom attended this school and her family is highly disappointed with the treatment he recieves. This school should be investigated and shut down asap!

I think Noble is a great school some people think its not good and dont recommend it but I recommend it and thats why I hated it 5 stars.

This school is racist towards black, or African American students, or anyone of black or African descent. Do not send your child to this school if they are black, or if they have special needs. This school allows bullying towards people of color, and people with special needs. Thank you.

Unless you want your child to have to repeat a year, want to pay so much money to a school that is not worth it, deal with so much rudeness from teachers and staff members such as Mr. Bedell, then dont make your life and your childs life even more difficult by placing them into this school, CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SCHOOL!!!!
