While the school had quite promising programs to offer, the strict dress code which is outdated by two decades and can be inflexible for plus sized students. The support staff do not adhere to the dress code to serve as an example for the students to follow, which is hypocritical. Communication between school staff and families are either robotic boiler language, ineffective, or none at all. School safety has been a huge concern on campus, yet families are left in the dark. While we love the opportunities provided, we are sadly disappointed that we have to rely on our children to communicate the recent safety issues: fights, trespassing, threats to school safety, etc. These should've come first hand from the staff. It’s very upsetting to notify families that students must maintain a minimum 96% attendance throughout their stay at Nobel in order to graduate and walk (during their final year.) This information should've been clearly communicated when students first started their stay, not their final year. Yes, we would recommend it for the programs it offers. Some of teachers and support staff are fantastic! But proceed with caution, so you won’t be surprised or blindsided.

This school has a strong community feel. The 5th grade class does a lot of fun events and field trips. A lot of families are really involved in the school and actively participate in the events. The principal responds quickly to e-mails. The kids are high achieving. I would highly recommend this school.

Placing my grandson in CHHS G+STEAM Magnet was a bad choice. Class options are limited, particularly in the Computer Science track. Teachers are frequently absent for meetings, conventions, etc. The main thrust of the program seems to be the aggrandizement of the school, not the best education of the students. The counseling staff is available but not especially helpful.
