Despite being part of a moderately-ranked district, Boulder Hill Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Boulder Hill Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.0% to 26.3% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

These higher-performing schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more advantaged student population. The declining performance of Boulder Hill Elementary School over the past several years indicates a need for the school and district to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
