Summary:

Hubbard High School is a public high school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 1,819 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hubbard High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois high schools, with academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 5.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to 18.6% for the district and 26.1% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 76.8% and 84.1% over the past 5 years, lower than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Curie Metropolitan High School (76.4%) and Hancock College Preparatory High School (97.1%). Additionally, Hubbard High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 26.7% in 2019-2020 to 77.9% in 2023-2024, much higher than the state and district averages, as well as the rates of nearby schools.

The wide range in performance across different student subgroups at Hubbard High School suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these diverse student populations. While the school's spending per student ($14,987 in 2022-2023) is higher than the state average, its academic outcomes remain poor, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and district. Addressing the significant challenges faced by Hubbard High School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional quality, addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, and providing targeted support for underperforming student subgroups.

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.

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.
