Including computers, foods, fashion & interior design, health occupations and CNA, industrial technology, autos, and many others. The experiences at SHS were positive and the outcome was awesome!

As a former Streamwood High School student, class of 2006, I would like to say that Streamwood High school is a fantastic school. However, I will mention that there are two different aspects to this school. There are the good kids and the bad kids. Obviously, if you hang around the bad influence people
... Read more then you will be caught up in bad grades and bad situations like drugs. I was part of the World Languages and International Studies Academy there learning Japanese. It was a great experience. You are surrounded by people who constantly challenge and apply themselves. Because of that, you want to excell. The after school activities are so many and they are really fun. I never attended any of the dances but many of my peers enjoyed them very much. The principal and office secretaries were kind. I know from being a page in the main office. Read less

As a parent of a current student who is a senior at Streamwood High, I believe you get out of it what you put into it. My son received a 26 on his ACT and has been in the U46 school district all his life. Other kids I know in the school district have received perfect scores in the Math portion of ACT

I attended a high school in a very rich, competitive suburb, Glenbrook North, and I got a 21 on my ACT. Like I said, you get out of it what you put into it -- anywhere! Safety is a non-issue there. Students' safety is put first. Read less

As a parent of a former student, I have worked with many teachers, counselors and others at this school. They are not really invested in their students and I speak from experience. You can find some, but they are rare souls. They do not have the necessary security to ensure the safety of their students

As a former student, I would rate my experience here as mediocre. Although the school has some opportunities for the honors track (i.e. the World Languages Academy and some honors/AP courses), it doesn't offer a wide variety of classes nor higher level classes for students looking to get ahead. Aside
... Read more from homecoming week, Streamwood lacks school spirit. The students in general are uninterested in joining activies and the environment is pretty dull. Athletics have a low to middling participation rate in terms of the school's decent sized population. The art and music departments are noticeably underfunded and inactive, with low participation rates as well. For instance, the drama/music departments had musicals in 2002 and 2005 with a 3 year difference in between, while the other U-46 high schools had musicals every year. On a positive note, the business and health occupations clubs were most successful and encouraging to Streamwood's reputation. Read less

Decent. People don't care enough at this school. There is no school spirit and most teachers don't make an effort to connect with the students.

Currently i am a student at Streamwood High School. It is not as bad as everyone is making it sound. Honestly, it depends on who you hang out with. As a community we try to make things better each year and it has been working. There is so much to do at Streamwood High. All you have to do is make an effort
