Schaumburg High School, or SHS is a public four-year high school located in Schaumburg, IL, a northwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
History
Schaumburg High School opened on September 17th 1970. It is accredited by the North Central Association and has earned full recognition status by the State Superintendent of Schools in the State of Illinois.
Currently, as well as for the next couple of years, Schaumburg High School is undergoing a massive reconstruction product in which 13 new classrooms, a new grand foyer, busport, administration center, three new science labs, and handicap accessibility will be added to the high school. This is a part of the larger District 211 construction projects on Conant, Hoffman Estates, and Schaumburg High Schools.
Schaumburg High School serves students who reside in Schaumburg, the south side of Hoffman Estates and the northern Cook County section of Hanover Park.
Academics
In 2008, Schaumburg had an average composite ACT score of 21.7, and graduated 92.5% of its senior class.[4] Schaumburg has not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) according to the provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, because two subgroups failed to achieve AYP in reading, and another did not achieve AYP in reading and math. The school is, as of 2008, on its third year of academic watch status.[4]
The United States Department of Education has recognized Schaumburg High School as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.[7]
