Hibbard Elementary School

Summary:

Hibbard Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with an enrollment of around 900 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, struggling with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly from low-income households.

Hibbard Elementary lags significantly behind state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 15.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 8.8% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school also faces very high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 26.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 85% of Hibbard students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

While the nearby schools in the same district show a wide range of performance, with some struggling similarly to Hibbard and others, like Waters Elementary School and Edison Regional Gifted Center, having significantly higher academic achievement, Hibbard's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners. Despite increased per-student spending, from $11,697 in 2019-2020 to $15,389 in 2022-2023, the school's academic outcomes have not yet improved, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach to address the challenges it faces.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I mean, the school was okay. Some teachers were reasonable, some were rude, and some were too nice. I was a pretty good student, so my grades weren't bad. However, some of the school had horrible grades. I met a kid who had about 4
Ds, but maybe there was something at home, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. But some of them were really mean. Some kids bullied others because of their clothing, their hair(cut), height, and more. There was plenty of drama, but everyone forgot about me, so I never got into any drama, except for the time there were rumours about me. I won't get into detail about what it was about, but that was my one bit of popularity. But if I had the chance to go to a different school, I would probably take it. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
