Nobel Middle School is an excellent school that provides a very well rounded and safe environment for learning. The teachers are, for the most part, amazing. Nobel is number 1 for a reason.

This is the best public middle school in LAUSD!!! Their scores are high, they have the best tutoring programs after school, and its marching band and drill team are the best!!! They are the only competing middle school in LAUSD! Their standards are sometimes very challenging, but overall they are amazing!!!

joytoia taylor: I think nobel was a pretty decent school when i went there i do think they needed more council to the kids coming from enter city kids because its a sensitive situation they are coming from and they need to feel more welcome and know people care and more patients and if there lacking or missing to much school they need to take more concern in why this student is not going to class or more one on one help to make sure they student don't get further behind. so in this case i say they are o.k. but it was the best school I have attended even though I didn't graduate due to some of the situation i mention above.
