's 2009 Top 1500 high schools in the United States, which bases school rankings on a ratio of advanced Placement exams
taken compared to the student population, Stevenson was ranked #151 in the nation. The school had been previously ranked #69 (2003), #86 (2005), #121 (2006), #170 (2007), and #154 (2008). It was also recently discussed in a Chicago Tribune article how Stevenson offers the most Advanced Placement classes than any other school in Illinois.
In 2010, Stevenson High School was awarded the National School of Distinction in Arts Education from the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
Stevenson High School is named after former Governor of Illinois
Adlai Stevenson. Shortly before the school opened in 1965, Stevenson died of a heart attack. Stevenson was a prominent resident of the area and embodied everything that the board of education wanted the high school to embody. Many other aspects of the school, such as its nickname (Patriots), the school magazine (Minuteman), and Newspaper (Statesmen) were also named after characteristics of Adlai E. Stevenson. Stevenson got its colors (Green and Gold) from the colors that were worn during the American Revolutionary War
by the nation's earliest patriots, Ethan Allen
and the Green Mountain Boys
.
Stevenson has grown since its opening in 1965 to become one of the largest high schools in the area. The school has undergone various additions over the years, the first being in 1970 where the school gym, auto shop, and pool were renovated. During the mid to late 1980s, a bi-level addition of classrooms was built along the side of the school as well as a new gym and a sky-bridge connecting the older part of the school to the new addition, which add a modern feel to the school. During the mid-1990s, a much larger addition, the size of another school, was built which included 60 classrooms, a 50 meter swimming pool, a 1,186 seat Performing Arts Center and a field house was built. In 2000, the new building added another wing which included more classrooms, a student resource center, and a new commons area. In 2004, the main entrance to the school was completely rebuilt and transformed into another commons area. Other renovations that year included more fine arts areas. Around 2008, many of the athletic fields were expanded and the football field got new turf. Also, the original school auditorium was renovated. Currently, the school library and student resource center in the old building are being renovated for the first time.
As of 2007, Stevenson had the sixth-highest enrollment, 4,545, of any high school in the state of Illinois, according to the Illinois High School Association.

The Stevenson public information officer released a statement November 20 stating the administration did not think anonymous sources discussing alleged illegal activity was fit for print.
The Chicago Tribune, in a November 26 editorial, said the school was wrong to force students to produce administration-approved stories: "This isn't editing, it's censorship." The Society of Professional Journalists' Freedom of Information chairman called the censorship "immoral, un-American, irresponsible and not fit for education."
Following the censorship fiasco, 11 of 14 Statesman staffers — and all the paper's top editors — resigned from their positions at the start of the spring 2010 semester.
Since then, many of the reporters who left the staff have graduated. The school administration recently announced an end to its censorship of the paper.

History
Adlai E. Stevenson High School opened in September, 1965 amid turmoil and adversity. Prior to the opening of Stevenson, the students in the Stevenson area attended Ela-Vernon High School in Lake Zurich. Stevenson was planned to become a second school for the growing district, but the western side (Lake Zurich) of the district decided to go their own way and build their own district. This left Stevenson with an unfinished building, no board or administration and no faculty. When Stevenson opened to 467 students and 34 teachers in 1965, the building was not carpeted, the library was empty, most classrooms were without desks and athletic fields were non-existent, as most of the school furniture was shipped to Prairie View, Texas instead of Prairie View, Illinois.Stevenson High School is named after former Governor of Illinois

Newspaper censorship
In November 2009, a dispute erupted between school officials and the student newspaper, The Statesman, regarding censorship of stories. The administration stopped publication of the November 20 issue, objecting to stories regarding drugs, teen pregnancy and shoplifting. When students wanted to leave the front page blank in protest of the censorship, the officials instead required the students to produce other stories approved by the administration.The Stevenson public information officer released a statement November 20 stating the administration did not think anonymous sources discussing alleged illegal activity was fit for print.
The Chicago Tribune, in a November 26 editorial, said the school was wrong to force students to produce administration-approved stories: "This isn't editing, it's censorship." The Society of Professional Journalists' Freedom of Information chairman called the censorship "immoral, un-American, irresponsible and not fit for education."
Following the censorship fiasco, 11 of 14 Statesman staffers — and all the paper's top editors — resigned from their positions at the start of the spring 2010 semester.
Since then, many of the reporters who left the staff have graduated. The school administration recently announced an end to its censorship of the paper.
