I've been at Schaumburg for three years, and I've had a great experience so far. I've made some great friendship, and have made lasting memories. The school provides countless resources for college readiness, and my teachers are always there to help. I'm very thankful for time I've been able to spend at this school, and I hope to keep it going in the years to come.

I believe that Schaumburg High School is a very diverse, safe and inclusive school. From my experience as a junior, everyone has their own group and fits just right. The teacher at the school are very dedicated to their job as well and will do anything to see their student succeed.

I am a sophomore and have been in this school for 2 school years. The school over all is okay it can be fun and educational at the same time but can also be very stressful and not helpful. Some teachers aren't well at teaching their students while others are great. Some staff is very helpful and kind while others aren't. The school can be very disorganized with helping students.
