For years, U.S. schools have been sending a message to our Black boys that they don’t belong and they don’t matter. Noble Schools has not always been the exception. Noble Schools has been actively trying to change the inequities in our students’ experiences for the past few years. We have changed the way we do discipline at our schools. We have invested more in our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work, and changed our academic and promotion policies. Our goal is that, in the next few years, we will see the results of this work for our Black boys. We hope to watch their academic success grow. We hope to see the exclusionary discipline gap between our Black boys and other students shrink.

Noble Schools was featured in a piece about equitable performance measurement by Bridgespan, a well-respected non-profit organization that advises social change leaders across the world. Noble has always been data-driven in our decision-making process. However, the way organizations gather and draw conclusions from data and especially WHO they include in that data can heavily bias the results. For the past few years, Noble has been focusing on how to improve and center equity in our data collection. We have been intentional about making sure we are reaching a diverse group of voices from all our stakeholders – families, students, staff, and more. This led to the creation of our Equity Index, which guides how we allocate funding to our schools.
