Hubbard High School

FYI, Hubbard High School's profile on the Chicago Public Schools website gives a significantly smaller attendance figure than US News: [1]. (I know that the attendance figures on the CPS website have been updated at least within the last couple of months, because I looked into this very school in February 2013.)

I think the US News website might be using older data. There are other contradictions between the two sources. For the time being, I removed some of the content.

I generally don't like having too much statistical information in these school articles, anyway, because it won't be maintained. Attendance is a moving target; there are so many changes within the school system that even approximate attendance figures have a short shelf life. And there are very, very few people working on these articles, so outdated info can last for years.

But anyway, I'm open to having a discussion about things. Zagalejo^^^ 05:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Zagalejo; thank you for the note! I see where you are coming from now, and have no problem with your edits; it's all part of the process to make the articles better. MLHalsey (talk) 11:24, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
