Summary:

Schaumburg, Illinois, has 14 schools—10 elementary, three middle and one high school—with 2025–26 results generally above state proficiency levels. Elementary schools averaged 69% in ELA, 59% in math and 61% in grade-five science, compared with state results of 56%, 40% and 48%; middle-school averages were 77% in ELA, 57% in math and 58% in grade-eight science, also above state results. But the elementary results vary widely: ELA scores span 56% to 90%, and math scores 45% to 83%. The clearest overall finding is that elementary schools are much less alike than the middle schools, with Thomas Dooley Elementary far ahead of its elementary peers.

Dooley led elementary schools in both ELA (90%) and math (83%), ahead of the next-highest school by 15 and 14 percentage points, respectively. Buzz Aldrin Elementary had the lowest elementary ELA result, 56%, while Winston Churchill Elementary had the lowest math result, 45%—still 5 points above the state. Among middle schools, Helen Keller Junior High led in all-grades ELA and math, at 79% and 60%; the middle-school ELA and math ranges were only 5 and 5 points. At the high school, Schaumburg High School was above the state in grade-11 ACT ELA, math and science by 11, 21 and 15 points, though its ELA was 1 point below Township HSD 211.

Recent trends differ by level and subject: elementary ELA was essentially flat from 2024–25 to 2025–26, elementary math fell 2 points and grade-five science rose 10; middle-school ELA, math and grade-eight science rose 2, 4 and 8 points. Schaumburg High’s grade-11 ACT results also rose in all three subjects, by 2 points in ELA, 6 in math and 2 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Dooley 48th of 1,737 statewide, in the 97th percentile with five stars. Other measures describe different aspects of schools: Campanelli Elementary and Churchill both had 11% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–22, yet Campanelli scored 14 points higher in ELA and 24 higher in math; its student-teacher ratio was also higher, 15.2 versus 11.5.
