As a public school, Noble Street Charter School is available to any student who graduates 8th grade and resides within city limits. No tuition or academic examination is required to enroll. If a campus receives more applications than there are seats in the freshman class, a live lottery is held.

Noble seeks to locate its campuses in neighborhoods that need high-quality high school choices. Most Noble Street students live within two miles of at least one of the campuses. The majority come from low-income, minority families. About half of students’ parents did not complete high school.
