During my time at Schaumburg high school I enjoyed the time that I was able to learn and improve myself as a person through the sports and the clubs such as open mic acoustic club or fishing club along with sports medicine club. through the school I was able to be employed as a student worker on the janitorial team and gain valuable skills and flexibility mindsets to better equip myself. The staff is always welcoming and willing to help with anything that you may be struggling with or interested in.

Decent school, with overall good academics, and facilities. There is little diversity in thought. Some teachers are very woke, and indoctrinate students. Counselors set on pushing AP classes that kids don't need. They pretend to care about mental health but push students to take on more and more.

The excessive pressure placed on students is overwhelming and seems to prioritize grades over actual learning and well being. The constant stress and unrealistic expectations are taking a toll on mental health, making the school experience more of a burden than a joy.

The administration has seemingly little interest in the...

A security guard wrongly accused me of smoking. It was that other boy but he said v-apes are made in china which I think was purely disrespectful because of my skin. They will judge you off appearance/skin. Horrible school to attend if you are Asian , they will treat you like you are beneath them!!...
