Addison Trail High School (ATHS) is a public four-year high school in Addison, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in DuPage County, United States. It is located approximately half a mile east of Interstate 355 at the intersection of Army Trail Road and Lombard Road in and is part of DuPage High School District 88, [10] which also includes Willowbrook High School. Addison Trail draws its students from Addison and unincorporated areas adjacent to Lombard and Wood Dale.
Addison Trail has roughly 2,026 students in the grades 9-12 and 122 full-time teachers staffed in the school year 2015–2016. [11] Addison Trail is ranked as the 394th best high school in Illinois. [12]
The population at Addison Trail, as of 2019, is 48.9% Hispanic, 42.1% White, 4.2% Asian, 3.5% African American, and .9% being two or more races. [12]
Addison Trail High School opened on 1 September 1966. [13] Before the opening of Addison Trail, there were two other high schools within District 88 – York High School in Elmhurst and Willowbrook High School in Villa Park. Due to the rapid growth within District 88, Addison Trail was approved for construction, making it the third in the district. [13]
Since the opening of Addison Trail, there have been significant changes to the school. In 1976, construction of a new addition was approved because of a growing student population. [13] In 2008, construction began on new renovations, which included a new 3-story classroom addition, student commons area and field house. [14] The renovations and additions were completed in 2010. [15] In 2010, Village of Addison purchased what was once Driscoll High School with the primary intention of using it as Addison Trail's athletic fields. [16] The acquired land was named Blazer Park. [17] The school has 120 classrooms and its still going on. The basement has an auto tech classroom, including a woodshop, a photography classroom plus driver eds room, a credit recovery room and an BRC (behavioral resource center) and a fitness gym. Plus there is a couple of classrooms used for sports and education classes.
In 2021, Addison Trail had a four-year graduation rate of 84.5%, compared to the State average of 86.0%. Its five-year graduation rate was 90.2%, slightly higher than the State average of 89.3%. [18]
Addison Trail competes in the West Suburban Conference. The school is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) which governs most sports and competitive activities in the state. Addison Trail's teams are stylized as the Blazers.
The school sponsors interscholastic teams for boys and girls in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. Boys may also compete in baseball, American football and wrestling, while girls may compete in badminton, bowling, cheerleading and softball. [19]
The following teams finished in the top four of their respective IHSA sponsored state championship tournament or meet. [20]
