Getting a great education in Hubbard Woods, Winnetka IL is the goal of all parents with school age children.  My experience with buyers, particularly out-of-town buyers, is that any house they purchase must be in an excellent school district.  Here on the North Shore, inlcuding Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, and Glencoe all elementary, middle and junior high schools feed into New Trier High School, one of the top high schools in Illinois.  All these feeder schools are rigorous in maintaining standards that are conducive to success at New Trier High School.

  Hubbard Woods has two schools that serve elementary grades - the public school Hubbard Woods School,(which is kindergarten through fourth grade) and the private Catholic school Sacred Heart.  A historical record of Hubbard Woods School can be found at :  Hubbard Woods School History. According to GreatSchools, Hubbard Woods School is among the few Illinois public elementary schools to receive a distinguished (their words) GreatSchools rating of 9 out of 10. 

The school has approximately 394 students, and averages 13.2 students for every full time teacher.  Demographics for the school can be found at:  Hubbard Woods Demographics. 

How many schools start out their  mornings with a full television broadcast, written, read and produced by Hubbard Woods School fourth graders in a basement studio!  Innovation is hard at work at studio WGST 6 (World's Greatest School Television) where students rehearse first then report stories, announce student birthdays, make weather predictions, discuss a "word of the day," and do special reports on topics like the third grade Medieval Fair or the kindergarten play.

An alternative to Hubbard Woods School is located just 2 blocks away at the parochial school Sacred Heart.
The school educates approximately 300 children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade with about 17 students in each classroom.  The Sacred Heart curriculum is traditional with a solid grounding in spirituality. 

If you are relocating or just moving to the North Shore area and are considering the Hubbard Woods area of Winnetka, be assured that the schools will meet rigorous standards and place higher on standardized tests that most schools nationally and in the state of Illinois.

Tomorrow's post about Hubbard Woods will highlight homes for sale in the area as well as an open house list for Sunday, July 26.
