Planning for Englewood STEM began in 2017 when the
Chicago Board of Education decided to close
Robeson High School due to declining enrollment and poor academic performance.[6][7] Construction of Englewood STEM, an $85 million high school began in July 2018, after the closure of Robeson the previous month. Englewood STEM was completed in August 2019, opening its doors on September 3, 2019.[8][9]
In addition to replacing Robeson, Englewood STEM also served as a replacement for
Harper High School,
Hope College Prep and
Team Englewood, which were also deemed as under enrolled and poor academic performing schools by the school district.[10] The school began serving grades 9–12, beginning in the 2022–2023 school year.
Other information
On April 25, 2022, Four people, a parent and three students were arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery along with criminal trespassing after a fight inside the school.[11][12]
