GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part of Hickman would be the social studies/history department of Hickman, they have fantastic teachers for that subject. The worst part would probably be the CPS district or the lack of funding for Hickman in general, it definitely is neglected compared to the rest of the schools in the district.

More emphasis on keeping the school a pleasant environment through things like cracking down on vaping and making sure the bathrooms are able to stay open (as many have been closed the entire year). Also by loosening up some of the restrictions that were put on traditions such as senior skip day and such.

My overall experience at Hickman High school has been the High school experience. I've met great staff, friends, teachers. Ive had fun, doing the school activities they provide, and the events they host for us to enjoy our school year. I wouldn't change anything, it's a really good school. I would like to see more engagement if I had to change something.

I was a student here for two years. I will go through the positives first, I really enjoyed the diversity of the students, I learned a lot about different lifestyles other than my own. I think the teachers did a pretty good job showing diversity. The school has a nice auditorium with plenty of assem...
