Summary

Rolling Meadows High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,956 students in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, in the Township HSD 214 district. The most important concern is attendance: in 2025–2026, 34% of students were chronically absent, compared with 27% districtwide and 24% statewide. That was the highest rate among the nearby schools, including 30% at Elk Grove High School and 11% at Wm Fremd High School.

Academically, the school is above state results but generally trails its district and nearby schools. It was above the state on all nine reported 2025–2026 tests, yet below the district and the nearby-school average on all nine. Grade 9 ELA was relatively close to nearby results: 73%, about 3 points below the nearby average. Math was a bigger weakness; grade 10 math was 45%, 16 points below the nearby average, while ACT grade 11 math was 46%, 9 points below the district. Graduation was 92%, above the state’s 90% but below the district’s 93%; the 2% dropout rate was below the state’s 2% but above the district’s 1%.

Results have shifted in different directions: grade 10 PreACT math rose 6 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ACT grade 11 ELA fell 7 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 122nd of 620 Illinois schools, at the 80th percentile with 4 stars, down from the 87th percentile two years earlier. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 16.0, tied for the lowest among the nearby schools. The school reported 37% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022; figures for J B Conant High School and Wm Fremd High School are from later years and are not directly comparable. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner students was at the 30th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 70th percentile two years earlier; its measure for Asian students was at the 22nd percentile, down from the 49th.
