GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Shen is a wonderful place when involved in the right places. Many sketchy interesting things happen in bathrooms and administration seems to not do much to stop it but they try. While the sports community is huge the rest of the school spirit lacks.

It's a pretty good school however there is a huge problem with violence in the high school along with weapons and drugs being brought in. Also there is a lot of racism and xenophobia among students and even faculty members. The west building needs air conditioning. The heat is unbearable. There are very good clubs like international club and a world of difference.

This school presents wonderful from the outside, but the being a student on the inside is incredibly different. I graduated in class of 2020 and was personally targeted by the class assistant principal. My parents tried to talk to the assistant principal only for him to rudely respond with emails, i...
