Noble Network of Charter Schools Reviews

Pros

Noble is actually doing the hard work needed to build equity and inclusion into their network and schools. The leadership does the right thing for the right reasons, and hold themselves accountable. The schools are still outperforming comparable schools in college graduates. They take care of employees. I've been really happy working here.

Cons

More communication with staff and please create more opportunities for staff to collaborate across campuses.

Pros

I'm sure it differs based on your school, but I had a really positive experience at Noble.

Cons

I think Noble is always working to improve the work life balance of teachers, but this is still imperfect

Pros

Fair compensation and cool work environment are possibilities depending on which school location you are in. After a few schools Noble has been the best network so far

Cons

In true charter fashion not all teachers would be considered qualified

Pros

Great people in the local community

Cons

Consistent micro aggression and very little done to support

Pros

You can grow with the company and you have the freedom to create your own curriculum

Cons

At times there is not enough time to complete all task.

Pros

Passionate people, important and impactful work

Cons

Lots of inconsistency; noble struggles with its identity right now as an org

Pros

Great insurance and benefits here

Cons

Paternity and Maternity could be better.

Pros

Transparent pay, opportunities for growth

Cons

Frequent turn over, poor discipline system, have to create own curriculum

Pros

There's not much that has occurred in the past 3 years that I would consider a pro.

Cons

Students are now performing worse than CPS, both in SAT scores and college persistence. There is no accountability and academics have taken a backseat to SEL. 50% grade floor means students only have to do 10% to pass. Teachers are expected to do everything with very little focus on their actual job: teaching. Behaviors are horrendous. I had a student smoke a vape in my class and they were returned before the end of the period. Many of my students, if not a majority, simply talk over me the entire period. You will be told this is your fault for not building relationships or having the classroom norms posted.

Pros

The resources that the network has to offer

Cons

Changing policies and political climate has impacted education
