Summary

Hamilton Elementary School is a public school serving 405 students in grades PK-8 in Hamilton, Illinois. It is part of the Hamilton CCSD 328 district, which is ranked 429 out of 811 districts in the state.

Hamilton Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA), with 64.2% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 53.1%. The school's 6th grade ELA performance is particularly strong, with a 75.8% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the state average of 54.3%. However, the school's Mathematics performance is more mixed, with some grade levels excelling and others closer to the state average. The school also performs exceptionally well for its low socioeconomic status, special education, and disabled student populations, ranking in the top 15% and 12% of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Dallas City Elementary School, Hamilton Elementary School generally outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics, particularly in the upper grade levels. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.3% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be an area of concern. Overall, Hamilton Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school with a focus on equity and inclusion, but the school should address the rising chronic absenteeism and uneven Mathematics performance.
