Chicagoland Soccer 
top Illinois programs rank


By Dave Surico

Did you ever wonder what is the best soccer high school in Illinois?

Everybody has an opinion, but is there a way to get that information based on any sort of data?

There is.

Below is a list of the schools that charted in both of the Chicagoland Soccer Final 50 state-wide rankings at the end of the abbreviated boys and girls COVID-affected seasons this spring.

It's based on a simple points system: 50 for the top-ranked team in either poll; 49 for the second; etc.

Twenty-five schools were listed in each poll this spring. Which school was no. 1? Look below.


Key: R-overall rank; GR-girls' rank; BR-boys' rank; W-L-T-combined record; Pts-points.

Editor's note: Mt. Carmel (6-2-0), an all-boys school, was ranked 38th in the boys Final 50 poll.
