Hynes Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking as high as 20th out of 2,046 schools in the 2015-2016 school year. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (55.4%) and Mathematics (62.6%) are higher than the state averages (53.1% and 38.5%, respectively). The school's performance is particularly strong in Mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates exceeding 60% in recent years, significantly higher than the state averages.
