GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a Senior of Hoffman Estates High School, there's many activities offered here that you'll feel overwhelmed. This high school is known as top 10 most diverse schools in the whole country. Students are very welcoming here and are involved. Teachers offer tutoring and you can communicate easily with them. Many AP, honors, and Dual courses are offered at Hoffman Estates High School. There's a library with staff that offers research, a quiet place to study, and tutoring.

Hoffman has great support on sports, academics and after school activity's but needs to emphasize more on how to be college ready. I would like to see more teachers and counselors teaching us to become more college ready from start of freshman year to start of senior year college application guidance.

I’m going to be very straight forward, I was treated awfully by other students in front of teachers. There were a lot of days I was ready to cry in class. My teachers never helped me with people.
