Dundee-Crown High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.7% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to 52.9% for the district and 51.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Additionally, Dundee-Crown High School has a four-year graduation rate that ranges from 87.7% to 95.9% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the district and state averages, and a higher dropout rate ranging from 1.1% to 2.7%.

Interestingly, Dundee-Crown High School's performance is notably lower than that of nearby schools, such as Cary-Grove Community High School, Barrington High School, and Harry D. Jacobs High School, which consistently outperform Dundee-Crown across various academic metrics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Barrington High School had 75.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to only 37.7% at Dundee-Crown. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Dundee-Crown High School, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch eligibility rates, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools.
