Summary

Hamilton Elementary School is a 560-student K–5 school in Moline, Illinois, serving families in the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 area. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear academic strength: Hamilton’s all-grade proficiency was 61% in English language arts (ELA) and 51% in math, well above the district in both subjects. The most important finding for families is that Hamilton’s recent ELA and math results lead its same-district schools by wide margins.

Hamilton is stronger than the state and nearby schools in ELA and math, but 5th-grade science is a relative weak spot. ELA proficiency was 61%, compared with 56% statewide and 43% districtwide; math was 51%, versus 40% statewide and 31% districtwide. Hamilton also exceeded the best same-district result by 22 points in ELA and 16 points in math. In science, however, 37% of 5th graders were proficient, 10 points below the state and just 1 point above the district. Among eight nearby schools with reported science results, Hamilton ranked fourth; the nearby average was 36.9%, compared with Hamilton’s 37.3%. SchoolDigger ranked Hamilton at the 55th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, the highest current percentile among nearby schools with a ranking.

Results have risen substantially: since 2023–2024, ELA proficiency increased 26 points and math increased 22 points, with both subjects moving from below or near the state to above it. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show notable differences: Hamilton ranked at the 72nd percentile for Hispanic students, compared with the school’s overall 55th percentile; its ranking for male students fell from the 59th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 32nd in 2025–2026. The student–teacher ratio was 15.1 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average of 15.2. In that same school year, 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 74%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
