The school is part of the Hinckley Big Rock CUSD 429 district, which is ranked 358 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hinckley-Big Rock High School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between a high of 26th out of 670 Illinois high schools in 2013-2014 and a low of 260th out of 697 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 5 stars in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, dropping to 3 stars in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, Hinckley-Big Rock High School generally ranks lower than Somonauk High School and Kaneland Senior High School, but higher than Sandwich Community High School and Plano High School.

One of Hinckley-Big Rock High School's strengths is its performance in the Illinois Science Assessment, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's student performance on standardized tests, such as the SAT, is mixed compared to the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's increasing percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the rising free and reduced-price lunch rate, suggests that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. By focusing on its science education strengths, addressing socioeconomic factors, and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Hinckley-Big Rock High School may be able to improve its overall performance and provide a more consistent, high-quality education for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
