Rauner College Prep is located at 1337 W. Ohio Street on the near northwest side of Chicago and currently has 280 scholars enrolled in grades 9-10. The campus will expand over the next two years into a full 9-12 high school campus of Noble Street Charter School serving approximately 500 scholars.  We use the advantage of a small school and small class size to create a safe and intimate learning environment. 

RCP expects parents/guardians to be our partners as we seek to prepare our scholars to take responsibility for their education, go on to college success, and be productive citizens of their community and world. We invite parents/guardians to get involved at RCP and to become familiar with our policies and procedures. Together, we will help our scholars become self-disciplined, honorable scholars.

It is expected that parents of RCP Scholars will:

• Attend parent/student/teacher conferences at the end of each 10-week period, or when asked to do so by a member of the staff.
• Sign the parent/teacher/student contract, a pledge to make your child’s academic excellence a primary focus for the school year, and support this contract.
• Hold your child accountable to our expectations, including doing homework every night. Parents/guardians should ask about homework, and expect to see students doing it daily.
• Read the weekly newsletter, sign and return it, and expect your child to bring you grades every two weeks. Call Rauner immediately if you do not see progress reports every two weeks.
• Provide students with a quiet, well lit place to work each night.
• Arrange all appointments and vacations to ensure that students do not miss school.
• Respect our learning/work environment by calling students only in the event of an emergency. Be prepared to reveal the nature of the emergency if you expect the student to be removed from class.
• Ensure that students are ready for school each day with clean clothing, books, notebook, assignment book, pen and homework.
