![]() By Amber Ortiz Last year Hubbard was on probation for the first time. Hubbard had many problems including attendance and academic test scores. This year, that is not the case. Hubbard rose from probation to a Level 2, thanks to the teachers’ and staff members’ commitment and push. Last year, CPS had a 3 tier system where Level 1 schools show the highest gains, Level 2 schools meet expectations but need more improvement, while Level 3, also known as probation, do not meet standards and need interventions by CPS. According to Mr. Newman, CPS will change its 3 tier system to a 5 tier system starting next year. In this new tier system, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 schools will no longer need “academic improvement strategies” while Level 4 and 5 schools will receive targeted interventions. As a school, Hubbard must work together on attendance and test scores. Many suggestions were made at a meeting on October 9th, 2013. Ideas including robo-calls and split schedules were suggested by teachers. Our new administrators, Ms. Wiley, Ms. Philips, and Mr. Newman, are all dedicated to lifting Hubbard’s status to Level 1. Some people will doubt if we can make it, but as Ms. Wiley said, “Together as team, we’re going to push up to a Level 1.”

You should mention about what we as students can do to help to make our school better. They should also improve security to catch people who cut classes to send them to detention. They should cancel the new rule if you are late to school you get a lunch detention. Many kids don't go to regular detentions so what makes them think that a lunch detention will actually make them come earlier to school.
