Summary:

Hoffman Estates High School is a public high school serving 2,067 students in grades 9-12 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The school is part of the Township High School District 211, which is ranked 91 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hoffman Estates High School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Academically, Hoffman Estates High School performs well, with 31.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics and 37.2% proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts, both higher than the state averages. The school also excels in the Illinois Science Assessment, with 60.9% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%. Hoffman Estates High School maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.9% to 95.5% over the past five years, and a low dropout rate, ranging from 0.6% to 1.8%. The school's performance across various student subgroups, including female students, African American students, and students with disabilities, is generally higher than the state averages.

While Hoffman Estates High School is a strong-performing school within its district, it is not the top-performing school. Wm Fremd High School and J.B. Conant High School, both within the same Township High School District 211, have higher rankings and better academic performance on standardized tests. Compared to schools outside the district, such as Lake Park High School and Elk Grove High School, Hoffman Estates High School generally outperforms them in academic metrics and student outcomes. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, from 8.7% in 2020-2021 to 20.0% in 2023-2024, is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

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.
