The 44th Ward is home to a number of neighborhood schools that consistently rank among Chicago’s best. Children should have the best education and facilities to empower tomorrows leaders. Below you will find a list and helpful information about each public school in the 44th Ward.

Tubman Elementary School

Tubman is a CPS level 1+neighborhood elementary school.  They are in their 5th year as a certified, authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) and candidate for Primary Years Programme (PYP) school.  IB programming is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world with a focus on inquiry-based learning.

Tubman also is a Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster Program (FPAMCP) school. FPAMCP is a network of arts-focused elementary schools in CPS. Arts teachers at FPAMCP schools work with students and classroom teachers to provide intensive and integrated instruction in the arts.

Students attending FPAMCP schools:

  • Learn and grow in multiple art forms: dance, drama, media arts, music, and visual arts
  • Develop cultural awareness and understanding
  • Make connections between arts learning and other subject areas (curriculum integration)
  • Are exposed to arts opportunities and environments, both in and out of the Chicago community, whether through visiting artist partnerships, performances, or museum trips

Tubman received $7,000,000 from Chicago Public Schools for facility improvements which include a total roof replacement and masonry repair to be completed by December, 2019.  In addition, Tubman received a total of $326,500 of which $285,000 will be paid by the city from the Open Space Impact Fee fund and the remaining $41,250 will be paid by CPS.  These funds will convert some of the school’s paved area into an environment conducive for outdoor recreation, learning, community gathering and play.  The scope of work includes the demolition of surrounding paved areas, providing drainage infrastructure for the construction of a new synthetic turf field and court spaces.  Additionally, passive spaces with seating and shade structures are proposed.

Blaine Elementary School

Blaine is a CPS Level 1+ Fine and Performing Arts cluster school.  It is a place where students feel competent, safe, supported, inspired and connected.  They are empowered with the idea that they are responsible for their own learning and they continuously work to better themselves as a result. Staff members engage in a continuous cycle of research, collaboration, reflection and professional growth.  They engage students in an appropriately challenging curriculum while using instructional strategies that give students a genuine opportunity to master the knowledge, skills, and essential understandings within and across the academic, technological, health and fine arts disciplines.

Blaine also has a Maker’s Space within its walls that focuses on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) projects, providing unique learning opportunities at all grade levels.

Members of the school community come together with the best interest of our students as the driving force for our work.

The school will have an expanded Pre-K program starting in the Fall of 2018.

Blaine received $500,000 from CPS to replace their turf field which was in dire need of repair.  The new field will be striped for soccer and will be completely installed by the 2nd week after school starts this year.

Hawthorne Scholastic Academy

In this level 1+ CPS rated Literacy and Writing magnet school, Hawthorne students will be intrinsically motivated to pursue opportunities for learning. They will be creative, independent thinkers and problem solvers able to satisfy their quest for knowledge through all forms of collaboration and communication. Hawthorne students will contribute positively to their local and global community through their awareness of socio-economic and cultural diversities.

Hawthorne stakeholders will maintain a safe, inclusive learning community that supports the needs of all learners. Students will develop critical thinking within an academically challenging, inter-disciplinary, literacy-rich environment that promotes student-to-student discourse as a means for learning. Hawthorne students will be provided with leadership opportunities and diverse cultural experiences.

Hawthorne will be undergoing an outdoor renovation, late Summer/early Fall in 2018.  This project will convert a portion of existing outdoor space into a cohesive, attractive outdoor area which will accommodate the diverse needs of the students, staff and community.  Plans will include a basketball court, active playground area, an outdoor stage/classroom, a new playground with a climbing structure, raised planters, fencing and new landscaping.  The intent is to create an interactive, inviting area for children and families to enjoy, explore and anticipate in activities.  The total project budget for phase 1 is $570,000.  The City will contribute $350,000 from Open Space Impact Fees, with CPS contributing $60,000.  Aldermanic Menu Funds contribution is $60,000 and the remaining will come from school funding.  Menu fund projects are financed through neighborhood capital improvement bonds.
