Noe Middle School

My child is a 6th grader at Noe and we came into this school with much excitement, but was soon disappointed. My child has a teacher that grades with a microscope, yet can't keep up with deadlines herself. More than one teacher has graded improperly on more than one occasion. The administration provides full support of the teachers whether right or WRONG. Although they have strict bullying policies in place, bullying does go on at the school and not much is done about it. But I will say, they ARE organized!

My daughter is an enrolled student at Noe. We enrolled from another state, and I am disappointed with the curriculum at Noe. My daughter was put in the regular tract . She has always been an erudite overachiever, yet she had noCogAt scores from our previous district. The counselor refused to put her in the AP classes. She never has homework, and she still maintains an A average. Personally, Noe is failing my daughter and no one seems to respond to my inquiries at this school.

My family are big supporters of the Arts. This school incorporates the Arts into every aspect of learning. My daughter has loved the challenging and creative learning experience this school has provided and her talent has blossomed because of it. I would recommend this school to anyone! They truly are a cut above!

I am currently going to Noe and in the gifted and talented program (AP). The teachers treat each student as an individual. All of the teachers aren't afraid to have fun! They are top-notch educators and I love the program. It is so easy to make friends because you aren't embarrassed to be smart! Goals of my teammates include straight-A's (and everyone is supportive if you get a bad grade and offer to help you if you don't understand something. That is if the teacher hasn't gotten to you yet! XD), getting into Manual (it's supposed to be a great school), and becoming a scientist, doctor, lawyer etc. The related arts teachers are serious about the subject but also make school a place to hang out and have fun. The location is wonderful. Within walking distance of Manual and UofL makes field trip fun and educational! Best school ever!! :)

They have a great arts program & embrace each student as an individual.

We have been very happy in our experience with Noe. The teachers are all easily reachable and send regular updates by email of what the kids are doing in class. Any time I've sent an email with a question or a special need they have responded right away. We've experienced both private school and public school, and I'd have to say Noe was the best - hands down.

It is amazing here, we have the best soccer teams in the district and other sports as well, but what makes everybody want to come here is our test scores which are the best in the state and everyone that goes here succeds

My daughter just graduated from Noe Middle School, she was in the GT program. We found the education to be excellent, teachers involved, the school safe and the extracurricular activities outstanding. I would recommend Noe Middle School without reservation.

As a new seventh grader i would like to say that my school is amazing. i am gifted and talented and i dont believe that we get to have all of the fun i believe that the other students get to have more fun because what they are learing comes with fun activites. what we learn have no activites of educational games the only thing that we get are tests and more homework than the other students other than that the school has many great qualites like the realted arts classes. For example i take drama with ms. kim joiner-johnson (jj) and we get to create skits and act in are own plays. the related arts classes make noe a school that teaches you not only the required knowledge that you need it lets you be free to either learn about the arts or whatever it is you want learn about.
