Hines Primary School

Public Grades K-4

1534^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Hines Primary School serves 403 students in kindergarten through grade 4 in Peoria, within Peoria School District 150, which SchoolDigger ranks at the 7th percentile statewide. In 2025–2026, Hines students were proficient at 36% in English language arts (ELA) and 27% in math: both results were higher than the district’s but below the state’s. The most important takeaway is that Hines still trails the state by 21 percentage points in ELA and 13 points in math.

Hines compares better with nearby schools in ELA than in math, but its results are below the averages for nearby K–4 peers in both subjects. Among seven nearby K–4 schools with results, Hines ranked 4th in ELA and 5th in math; its proficiency was 10 points below peers’ average in ELA and 7 points below in math. Hines was 4 points above the district in ELA and 7 points above it in math, while remaining 21 and 13 points below the state, respectively. Grade 4 is a particular concern: Hines had 38% proficiency in ELA, 6th among seven schools, and 25% in math, second-lowest among schools with results.

Results have improved since 2023–2024: ELA proficiency rose 23 percentage points and math rose 16, while the gaps to the state narrowed by 8 points in ELA and 5 in math. Still, SchoolDigger gives Hines a 1-star rating and ranks it at the 12th statewide percentile (1,534 of 1,737), down 4 percentile points from the prior year. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 14.9, compared with 14.2 at nearby schools, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 ranking for African American students was notably stronger than its overall ranking—31st percentile versus 16th—while its ranking for Disabled Students was much lower, at the 1st percentile, in both 2023–2024 and 2024–2025.
