GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
We have been thrilled with our experience at Hubbell. The academic programs are excellent, especially the IB program. The leadership--both principal and teachers--is outstanding. We have been pleased with our teachers and how much our child has grown. Hubbell does a great job with gifted children and we have been especially pleased with the innovative methods teaching reading comprehension. The parent community is very active and it has been easy to develop friendships by participating in the many class room and school functions. The school cultivates a joy of learning, and as parents who are educators, there is nothing more important.

"It's in the center of Des Moines, close to everything but with it's own neighborhood feel. I feel this is one of the only neighborhoods in Des Moines outside of downtown where you could get along without owning a car. Access to a lot of shops, restaurants and services."
