Summary:
Hamilton CCSD 328 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Hamilton. The district has just one elementary school, Hamilton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.
Hamilton Elementary School is a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Illinois. The school outperforms the district and state averages on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with its strongest performance in 6th grade ELA where 77.1% of students scored proficient or better, compared to 46.7% statewide. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% compared to the state average.
While Hamilton Elementary School is a high-performing school, it faces some challenges. Nearly half of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 574 in 2021-2022 to 799 in 2023-2024, which warrants further investigation. The school also shows variation in subject performance, with stronger results in ELA than in Mathematics, suggesting a need to address this disparity.
