Summary

Rickover Naval Academy High School is a 527-student public high school in Chicago, serving grades 9–12. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate is 99%, compared with 83% in Chicago Public Schools District 299 and 90% statewide. But 42% of students are chronically absent, versus 39% districtwide and 24% statewide. The most important academic finding is that English language arts and science are stronger than mathematics, with math—especially in grades 9 and 10—the clearest concern.

Rickover’s English and science results are above the district’s in all three tested grades, while its math results are mixed: math is above the district in grade 11 but below it in grades 9 and 10. Compared with the state, English is close, while math trails by 7 points in grade 11, 13 in grade 10 and 16 in grade 9. Grade 10 is a local bright spot: Rickover has the second-highest nearby results in English and science. Its latest grade 11 ACT results also exceed the average of nearby schools with reported scores by 12 points in English, 9 in math and 10 in science. These local strengths sit alongside notably weaker earlier-grade math results.

Grade 11 ACT scores improved sharply from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: English rose 18 points and math 15. Grade 10 English increased 7 points, but grade 9 English fell 5 and math fell 10, so gains are not consistent across grades. SchoolDigger places Rickover at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars for 2025–2026, up from the 37th percentile the year before. Its 15.8:1 student–teacher ratio is above the nearby-school average of 14.0:1; 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, below the nearby comparison average of 78%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also indicate stronger results for some groups: the school ranks at the 77th percentile for White Students, up from 44th in 2023–2024, and at the 73rd percentile for English Language Learner Students, up from 36th.
