Living near Hinckley-Big Rock HS
The area, not just the school
Life around Hinckley and Big Rock is small-town rural in the best sense. This is the western edge of the Fox Valley, where DeKalb County and Kane County farmland stretches out in every direction and the pace slows down the moment you turn off the main highways. Hinckley grew up along the old rail line and Route 30, the Lincoln Highway, and Big Rock sits just to the east along Route 30 and Route 47, so the two villages share one school district and a genuine, everybody-knows-everybody feel.
Housing here has real character and real space. You will find classic farmhouses on acreage, ranches on generous village lots, and a handful of newer small subdivisions in and around the villages, with prices that tend to stretch further than they do closer to the city. For buyers who want elbow room, a workshop or a barn, room for a garden, or just a big backyard and dark night skies, this area delivers what tighter suburbs cannot.
The trade-off is a commute, and it is a very manageable one. Route 30 runs straight into Sugar Grove and on toward Aurora and the I-88 corridor to the east, while Route 47 gives you a quick north-south connection, and DeKalb sits about ten miles up the road with its shopping, hospital, and Northern Illinois University. Families here get the calm and affordability of country living while staying within a reasonable drive of Fox Valley jobs and services.

The school
About Hinckley-Big Rock High School
Hinckley-Big Rock High School was formed in 1957, when Hinckley High School consolidated with neighboring Big Rock after the 1956-57 school year to create the Hinckley-Big Rock school district. The high school was placed in Hinckley, and the current building was constructed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The predecessor Hinckley High School dated to the turn of the twentieth century, and its gym holds a footnote in sports history: it hosted the first Harlem Globetrotters game on January 7, 1927. Today the school serves the villages of Hinckley and Big Rock in the Fox Valley farmland of DeKalb and Kane counties.
Hinckley-Big Rock is a small rural public high school serving grades 9-12, with about 217 students and roughly 19 full-time teachers, for a student-teacher ratio near 12 to 1. The school offers Advanced Placement coursework within a small, close-knit single-building setting typical of a rural district.
The Hinckley-Big Rock Royals compete in the Little Ten Conference, the oldest continuous high school athletic conference in Illinois. The girls basketball program is the school's signature success: the Lady Royals won back-to-back IHSA Class 1A state championships in 2009 and 2010, becoming the first team to repeat as state champions under the four-class system.
