SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 620 Illinois High Schools

Better than 96% of Illinois high schools

Summary

Wm Fremd High School is a grades 9–12 school in Palatine, in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, with 2,689 students. It has the highest nearby-school enrollment and, in 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it 26th of 620 Illinois schools, at the 96th percentile with five stars; the next-highest nearby school, J B Conant High School, ranked 42nd. The most important finding is that Fremd scored higher than every nearby school in each reported same-grade, same-test comparison and was well ahead of state and district results.

Mathematics is Fremd’s strongest relative subject, while ELA is comparatively less dominant—but all three subjects are strong against every comparison group. Across the reported grade-and-test comparisons, its average advantage over the state was 32 points in math, 26 in science, and 23 in ELA; its average lead over nearby-school averages was 19, 15, and 15 points, respectively. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 96%, above the 95% rate for Township HSD 211 and 90% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was 11%, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 24%, and the lowest among the five nearby schools.

Recent test changes are mixed: 10th-grade PreACT ELA and math rose by 4 and 7 points from the prior year, while 9th-grade ELA fell by 4 points and 11th-grade ACT ELA fell by 3. Fremd’s SchoolDigger overall percentile eased from 98 in 2021–2022 through 2023–2024 to 96 in the past two years, but remains high. Its student-teacher ratio was 16.5:1 in 2024–2025, above the nearby range of 13.8:1 to 16.3:1; 23% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing for how well the school serves Disabled Students fell from the 98th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 55th in 2025–2026. Its standing for African American Students was at the 66th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 91st in 2023–2024—an important contrast with the school’s overall 96th-percentile standing.
