In Chicago, students can elect to apply to selective enrollment schools by taking the selective enrollment exam and meeting other application requirements such as elementary school grades. In contrast, charter schools like Noble are free, non-profit public schools authorized and funded by the Chicago Public Schools district to operate with freedom to innovate in curriculum and staffing models among other areas. Noble high schools are open to all students in the city of Chicago who complete the 8th grade - there are no other admission requirements and students apply through the same GoCPS system as for all other CPS schools. Generally, Noble students enter high school with lower academic achievement records than the district average. Groundbreaking new research from MIT shows that students who attend Noble schools grow more academically than similar peers who attended elite, selective enrollment high schools.
