School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
Hubbard has a great principal that is very involved. Although the school is underfunded for the amount of students that attend the school the teachers do a great job with teaching the students. When I graduated in 2009 the school was still the only school on the Southwest side that was not on probation and we all took pride in it.
