Summary

Coyote Hills Elementary School serves 695 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Peoria, within the Peoria Unified School District. Its 2025–26 results are stronger than state and district results overall, but the most important finding is that Coyote Hills falls below nearby-school averages in both English language arts (ELA) and math.

Coyote Hills’ all-grades ELA proficiency was 52%, above the state’s 41% and the district’s 44%, but below the 10 nearby schools’ average of 61%. Math was 47%, ahead of the state’s 33% and district’s 37%, yet below the nearby average of 58%. Even among four nearby schools with the same prekindergarten–eighth-grade span, Coyote Hills was a little behind: 52% versus an average of 54% in ELA, and 47% versus 49% in math. Grade-level results vary: third-grade ELA was a standout at 68%, the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade, while sixth-grade ELA was 39%, below the state, district, and every nearby school with a reported result. Eighth-grade science was another concern at 31%, the lowest among nearby schools with data and below the district’s 33%.

Science results show a mixed trend: fifth-grade proficiency edged down from 45% in 2022–23 to 44% in 2024–25, while eighth-grade science rose to 41% in 2023–24 before falling to 31%—just above the state’s 30% and below the district’s 33%. SchoolDigger ranks Coyote Hills at the 65th percentile and gives it 3 stars for 2025–26; its percentile has declined from 76 in 2022–23, and it is below the nearby-school average of 79. The school’s student–teacher ratio, 11.7, is the lowest among nearby schools with data, compared with their average of 18.7; its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 21% in 2022–23. One subgroup result also stands out: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White students is at the 15th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 65th percentile, and fell from the 34th percentile in 2023–24. Nearby schools vary in grade span, and comparable local lunch-rate figures were not available.
