Summary:
Zip code 60555 has one middle school, Hubble Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 679 students, so there is no second local school to compare it with. Its 2025–2026 results were above state results in every reported subject and grade, though they were not always above its district’s results. The clearest strength was English language arts: Hubble’s all-grades proficiency was 81%, compared with 56% statewide, an advantage of 25 percentage points.
Hubble is the only school in the area list, so there is no local top or bottom school; its results offer the area’s sole picture of middle-school performance. It was above the state in all-grades math, too, at 48% versus 40%, a gap of 8 points, and in eighth-grade science, at 65% versus 52%, a 13-point gap. But comparisons with Cusd 200 show a mixed picture: Hubble was 2 points above the district in ELA, but 15 points below it in math and 3 points below it in eighth-grade science. Math also varied considerably by grade: proficiency ranged from 38% in eighth grade to 56% in seventh, while ELA stayed close to 81% in each grade. SchoolDigger rated Hubble 4 stars and ranked it 261st of 1,126 schools, in the 77th percentile; those are statewide rankings, not comparisons among schools in 60555.
Hubble’s strongest recent improvement was in ELA: its all-grades result rose 11 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the state rose 3 points, widening Hubble’s lead by 8 points. Math increased just 1 point, and its state advantage changed little. Eighth-grade science improved 7 points, matching the state’s gain, so the gap stayed about 13 points. For additional context, Hubble’s student–teacher ratio was 12.5:1 and 34% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 13% in 2025–2026, 10 points below the state rate but 1 point above the district rate.
