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.

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.

I have really enjoyed my experience at Shawnee High School. I have been with the Clark-Shawnee District for 13 years as I started in kindergarten and have stayed until senior year. I have had some of the most amazing teachers, staff, and supporters throughout my years with Shawnee. Most of all, I have felt that teachers cared about my academics, but more importantly they have helped me pave a way to be successful for many years to come.

Best option for college preparation from a public school in the Lima, Ohio area. Older buildings and technology but rigorous classes and plenty of college-prep opportunities. Not much diversity compared to Lima Public Schools, school is located in the wealthier area outside of Lima (Shawnee Township).
