Summary
Robert C Hill Elementary School serves 547 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Romeoville, within Valley View CUSD 365U. Its all-grade results look strong, especially in mathematics, but student outcomes vary sharply by grade. The most important concern is grade 5 mathematics: 25% of students were proficient, 12 percentage points below the state and 10 below the district, making the school second-lowest among nearby schools reporting grade 5 results.
Overall, the school is strongest in mathematics and weakest in grade 5 science compared with local and broader benchmarks. All-grade math proficiency was 46%, about 7 points above both the state and district and 6 points above the nearby K–5 average; it ranked third among those schools. ELA proficiency was 62%, 5 points above the state and 4 above the nearby-school average, though 2 points below the district. By contrast, grade 5 science proficiency was 34%—13 points below the state, 4 below the district, and 6 below the nearby K–5 average. Only two of the nine nearby K–5 schools scored lower. Grade-level contrasts are pronounced: grade 4 math reached 51%, the strongest among nearby schools reporting that grade, while grade 5 math was near the bottom.

Yet SchoolDigger’s statewide rating fell from the 62nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 50th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably higher, at the 75th percentile, while its ranking for female students dropped 21 points, from the 71st to the 50th percentile. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 9.8, the lowest among 10 nearby schools; 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 56%. Chronic absenteeism was also lower than the state and district in 2025–26: 18%, versus 24% and 26%, respectively.
