Alfred B. Nobel Charter Middle School 9950 Tampa Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 91324

"Eh, the education is ok and I got lucky with most of my teachers. I’m a seventh grader now and haven’t really gotten dress coded often though I wear leggings every day and tank tops around the dean. The counselling is absolute garbage though, the adults just try to get a story about every student and will send you two weeks of paper pickup if you walk too fast but when groups of kids are trying to grand theft auto a golf cart parked somewhere nobody does anything. My counsellor is especially horrible, I’m stuck in the theater elective and have extreme stage fright and I end up skipping, I tried to explain this to her within the gap that we can move classes and she just sent me a paper pick up slip for skipping and sent me to class. The overall school is very pretty if you can look past the minor sharpie graffiti, gum everywhere, and the food trash. Teachers are alright but if you know anything about the teacher Ms Yu you’d send your kid out of her class immediately from the horrible and random teaching “style” she has that is throwing two essays a week at you and completely forgetting about most of the dates. Mrs Herring is one of the art teachers and she is honestly amazing, maybe I’m biased as I’m an art kid but she just stays calm through everything and a free sorta feel in her room, each year one of her kids gets the opportunity to paint someplace on her walls or doors, and honest to god I hope she never leaves this school. Good luck to any future kids, stay quiet and get friendly with the teachers, dean, aids, and the counsellors and if you see something wrong that isn’t drugs or suicide stay quiet. Make yourself the kid they look over and you’ll get by with anything because you’re a “good kid” don’t act out unless you’re deprived of that sweet sweet feeling of losing your clean record"

"Great school. Nice staff and decent teachers. The office is helpful but sometimes not on task. I asked the person at the counter about a note I received from them but then gets into a unnecessary conversation with another staff member for about 5 minutes before I had to interrupt them and I ask them again about my note. Teachers are kind, too. Overall, I'd say Nobel is a 4 out of 5, which also takes account of the small amount of bullying and fights. Principal's pretty cool"

"Not a good school. I attended all 3 years. Once you get into 8th grade there's a lot of drugs, fights, and bullying. The staff is naive and careless to all three things and if you get caught doing them or anything like that most of the time nothing happens but maybe a few days of suspension if that. There's a handful of good teachers that I had but some teachers are unorganized. I would recommend you send you're kid here only if you want the title of them being at the bet middle school in the valley but only if you're ok with the drugs, bullying, and fights that go on there. Yes the education is good but in the end so are so many other schools' education with less of that. Nobel is drama and honestly a bad school despite everything people say about it."

"Nobel Middle School is an incredible school. The staff here is great, and the students are really nice. I made a lot of friends. In my opinion, bullying isn't much of a problem at all. They offer great programs and opportunities, and I have really learned a lot, in my 3 years at Nobel."

"The school is great, but some teachers honestly don't know the first thing about teaching. People may think that the school is unprotected because it doesn't have fences, security guards or anything else, but the school is in a good neighborhood and it is safe. Mostly good kids go there."
