Harriet Tubman Elementary is a CPS pre-K through 8th grade school at 2851 N Seminary Ave in Lakeview, just north of Lincoln Park.

It may be the assigned school for some addresses near Lincoln Park’s northern edge; check any address with the CPS School Locator. Its CPS profile listed 286 students in October 2026.
