Summary
Streamwood High School is a grades 9–12 school in Streamwood, Illinois, serving 1,890 students in School District U-46. The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–26, 47% of students were chronically absent, compared with 30% in the district and 24% statewide.
Academic results are generally below nearby, district, and state comparisons, although ninth-grade science is a relative bright spot. In 2025–26, 11th graders met ACT proficiency benchmarks at rates of 34% in English Language Arts (ELA), 25% in math, and 30% in science. Those results were below state rates by 16, 14, and 18 points, respectively, and below district rates by 5, 2, and 6 points. They were also 15–18 points below the nearby-school averages; Streamwood ranked second-lowest among the five schools in each subject, ahead of Elgin. Ninth-grade science was stronger: 40% met the benchmark, 5 points above the district, though still below most nearby schools.
Some indicators are improving while others remain concerning. Streamwood’s graduation rate rose from 82% in 2021–22 to 88% in 2025–26, but its chronic absenteeism has stayed between 46% and 51% in the years reported. SchoolDigger places the school at the 25th statewide percentile and gives it 1 star in 2025–26; its ranking fell from the 56th percentile in 2020–21. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16.1, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings point to notable differences: its measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students fell to the 9th percentile in 2025–26, from the 48th percentile in 2023–24; for White Students, it was at the 54th percentile, compared with 25th overall. These rankings describe statewide standing for each group, not comparisons among students.
