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.

I would have to say the worst experience during my time at this school would have to be online learning when Covid-19 had first hit. Everyone across the United States were scared and unprepared, but their was nothing that could have been done and everyone has learned since then. The best experience would have to be the amazing staff who made coming to school enjoyable and always put the students before themselves. They have shaped me into the person I am today.

Shenango High School has a numerous amount of extracurricular activities. These extracurricular activities gives every student a possibility to find something that they enjoy. I'd like to see additional clubs happening at Shenango in years to come.
4.0 Junior

Shenango is a small school, allowing for an atmosphere where students can attain a fair amount of 1 on 1 time if needed or desired. The school is a good school to go to.
