I'll admit that Nobles is a pretty decent school except they're not the best. Roxbury Latin clears your poverty ass school. Y'all suck at pretty much everything other than sports and have women at your school so your all simps. But in conclusion its an ok school. If you go to Nobles stay mad that you don't go to RL but be glad you don't go to Milton.
