Noble Schools’ annual report for the 2021-2022 school year is now out! The report gives an overview of the students and families we served and the results of that service.

Two of the areas where we found we excelled the most were Noble League and supporting DREAMer students with college. Take a look below to see a quick snapshot of the success we saw for our Noble League participants and DREAMer students in 2021-2022.

NOBLE LEAGUE

Last year, approximately 3,000 students participated in the Noble League, the competition mechanism of the network’s athletics, fitness, academics, and the arts. We have more than 150 head coaches and facilitate over 1,500 athletic contests annually.

We saw that participation in the Noble League was linked to positive student performance across a range of outcomes:

  • On average, Noble League participants have higher current and cumulative GPAs, fewer absences, and fewer disciplinary infractions than students who don’t participate.

  • A 2016-18 study also indicated that Noble League participants had higher projected college graduation rates and higher college retention rates than non-participants.

Additionally, Butler College Prep set new heights in Noble League athletics in 2022.

Camille Jackson, Butler College Prep’s all-state guard, became the first Noble League athlete to accept a full-ride athletic scholarship to a Power 5 NCAA Conference. Camille helped lead the Lady Lynx to an IHSA Super-Sectional appearance, also a first for Butler girls’ basketball. Camille is now a freshman guard for the Illinois Fighting Illini.

DREAMER SUPPORTS

Noble is helping change the trajectory of the lives of students and their families for generations to come, and this includes DREAMer, DACAmented and mixed-status students. Since we established the Office of DREAMer Supports in 2015, we’ve seen unprecedented increases in the rates of this population of students attending and graduating from college.

Funding partnerships contribute to DREAMer student college enrollment.

Prior to 2015, only about 1 of every 4 DREAMer Noble graduates matriculated immediately to a 4-year college. Now, more than 3 out of 4 of this same population is enrolling in a 4-year college. We credit this increase in large part to the Pritzker Access Scholarship and other donor-supported partnerships.

At the top of this graphic, there is a title that reads "Fall Semester After Noble Graduation Average Rates". Under that is a key with three items. The first item has a blue square with the words “four year college" next to it, indicating that the blue on the following graph represents the percentage of undocumented Noble Schools students who enrolled in a four year college program. The second item has a yellow square with the words "two year college" next to it, indicating that the yellow on the following graph represents the percentage of undocumented Noble Schools students who enrolled in a two year college program. The third item has a gray square with the words "not enrolled" next to it, indicating that the gray on the following graph represents the percentage of undocumented Noble Schools students who did not enroll in college at all. Below is a bar graph that has two bars – one for the years 2003 to 2014 and the second one for the years 2015 to 2021. Each bar is separated into three sections of color based on the key, showing the percentage of undocumented Noble students who enrolled in a four year college program, a two year college program, and those that did not enroll at all. In the years 2003 to 2014, the graph shows that 27 percent of undocumented students enrolled in a four year program, 30 percent enrolled in a two year program, and 43 percent did not enroll at all. In the years 2015 to 2021, the graph shows that 78 percent of undocumented students enrolled in a four year program, 7 percent enrolled in a two year program, and 15 percent did not enroll at all.

Noble’s DREAMer alumni are graduating
college at higher rates than their peers.

At the top of this graphic, there is a title that reads “Four Year College Graduation Rates, Classes of 2015, 2016, and 2017”. Beneath that, there are two half circles with three different colored bars running along the circumference. The bars are meant to represent the graduation rates of three different graduating classes. They look like curved bar graphs. The first half circle is titled “DREAMer Graduates”. The second half circle is titled “All Graduates”. Underneath the half circles, there are two charts. Underneath the DREAMer Graduates, the chart shows that fifty percent of DREAMer students from the Noble Schools’ Class of 2017 graduated from a four year college, sixty percent of DREAMer students from the Noble Schools’ Class of 2016 graduated from a four year college, and sixty-five percent of DREAMer students from the Noble Schools’ Class of 2015 graduated from a four year college. In comparison, there is another chart underneath the “All Graduates” half circle – it shows that thirty-five percent of ALL students from the Noble Schools’ Class of 2017 graduated from a four year college, thirty-eight percent of ALL students from the Noble Schools’ Class of 2016 graduated from a four year college, and fourty-three percent of ALL students from the Noble Schools’ Class of 2015 graduated from a four year college.
