Original Research by School Decision on Hubbard High School
Hubbard High School is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly Hispanic, with a smaller Black population and very few white or Asian students. The school's enrollment spans across all four high school grades fairly evenly.
State assessment results and a four-year graduation rate were not available in the data provided, so a parent looking to understand Hubbard's academic standing would need to consult additional sources or contact the school directly. The school operates within Chicago Public Schools, the largest district in Illinois, and sits in a neighborhood defined by the district's recent policy shifts. Chicago has moved from a wholly mayor-appointed school board toward a fully elected governance structure by 2027, and the district adopted a strategic plan in 2024 emphasizing neighborhood schools over the school-choice model that previously shaped CPS. The district also replaced numeric school ratings with new dashboard-based accountability measures launched in late 2024, which families can now use to evaluate schools. All CPS schools have access to Skyline, the district's comprehensive PreK-12 curriculum, which became available at no school-level cost starting in 2022.
The Englewood neighborhood where Hubbard is located reflects broader patterns across Chicago's South and West sides: the median home value in the 60629 zip code is modest relative to citywide and national benchmarks, and rental costs are below both state and national medians. Housing inventory in Cook County has declined moderately, though supply remains elevated by historical standards. The neighborhood sits within Chicago's transit-served urban fabric; the city runs eight CTA rail lines and hundreds of bus routes, making transit-dependent households viable. Employment in Chicago spans federal, state, and local government, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics.
A parent or resident considering Hubbard would benefit from visiting the school, reviewing its new performance dashboard through CPS, and checking whether the school offers particular programs or pathways that matter to their family's goals, since those details were not included in the available data. The school serves its immediate neighborhood and is embedded within the city's ongoing shift toward strengthening local school options.
