Hawk Hollow Elem School, Bartlett IL

Original Research by School Decision on Hawk Hollow Elem School

Hawk Hollow Elem School is closed. The school, located in Bartlett on Jacaranda Drive, served grades in the middle band (exact designation listed as M through M in the directory), and its last recorded academic data comes from the 2022-23 school year.

The assessment results from that final year show performance below state averages across tested grades. In math, proficiency rates ranged from under one-quarter of students to about one-third across grades three through six. English-language arts results were somewhat stronger, particularly in grade six where proficiency reached above one-half of tested students, though grades three through five remained in the one-third range. Science data for grade five was suppressed by the state, likely due to small group size, though participation in science testing was high. No multi-year trend data is available, so the context for whether performance was stable, declining, or improving cannot be determined from the records provided.

Enrollment and demographic data were not available. The school's staffing, civil-rights information, and detailed student support services are missing from the data. Whether the school closed because of enrollment decline, facility condition, district consolidation, or other factors is not stated in the materials provided.

The closure aligns with a larger transformation underway in School District U-46, the Elgin-based district serving Bartlett and surrounding communities. A voter-approved bond referendum in 2023 funded the rebuilding of five aging elementary schools and the creation of new middle schools. According to publicly reported accounts, a former elementary building was converted into Hawk Hollow Middle School in Bartlett, opening for the 2025-26 school year and described as the first newly built middle school in the district in more than a decade. This suggests Hawk Hollow's elementary function ended as part of a larger district facility reorganization tied to that bond-funded capital program.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
