Summary:

The 60629 zip code area of Chicago, Illinois is home to 4 high schools: Hubbard High School, Hancock College Preparatory High School, Gage Park High School, and ACE Amandla Charter School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with the exception of ACE Amandla Charter School which is part of the ACE Amandla Charter School district.

Based on the data, Hancock College Preparatory High School stands out as the top-performing school in the group, consistently ranking among the top 10-40 high schools in Illinois over the past 3 years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hancock College Prep has significantly higher proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, Gage Park High School appears to be the lowest-performing school, ranking in the bottom 20 percentile of Illinois high schools with very low proficiency rates across all subject areas.

Despite the differences in academic performance, all 4 schools had similar 4-year graduation rates around 89% and dropout rates between 2.4-2.6% in 2024-2025. However, chronic absenteeism was high at all schools, ranging from 25-26%. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch was also very high, from 62% at Hancock College Prep to over 90% at Hubbard High and Gage Park High, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges facing the student populations. These factors likely contribute to the academic achievement gaps observed between the schools.
