The city of Wheeling, Illinois is home to a single high school, Wheeling High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. As the only high school in the city, Wheeling High School's performance and metrics provide a comprehensive overview of the secondary education landscape in this area.

Wheeling High School has maintained a relatively stable 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, indicating consistent performance. However, the school's test scores in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science lag behind the averages of Township High School District 214 and the state of Illinois, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.6% to 61.4%. Despite this, the school boasts a strong 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate for the 2024-2025 school year.

Wheeling High School's student-teacher ratio of 15.1 and per-student spending of $26,823 for the 2023-2024 school year suggest a substantial investment in the education of its students. While the data does not provide information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, this high level of funding could indicate opportunities to further improve academic outcomes and better prepare students for college and career.
