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.

Shawnee High School has some of the best teachers I have ever met! All the teachers truly care about their students and want to prepare them for their future.

I strongly feel that the school is constantly trying to better itself. It is always making strides to become more accepting to a wide diversity of students and faculty. However, the environment is still not up to par. The teachers do not hold high expectations for their students, making those who work hard appear invisible. We have also had a history of criminal offenses in our teaching faculty. The school does a fine job of appearing as a top high school, but in my opinion, it is all a facade.
