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 was in the band, as well as AP classes, and overall a very involved student. As a LGBT student I was never targeted or bullied by anyone. The AP program at Shawnee High School is a bit of a joke, it does not add to your GPA like other schools do; AP classes are simply much harder for the same credit. I think every year I attended we had some sort of bomb or shooter threat. The neighborhood around the school is sketchy, leading to a lot of crime around the school.

I enjoyed my short period of time at Shawnee High School. Concurrent classes were extremely encouraged and I did not have an issue with scheduling. The best part was choir. I loved the teacher and it jump started my enrollment in college chorus. The worst part was probably the construction that occurred during classes because it often interrupted our activities and sometimes it kicked us out of our building.

Only as an a...

I would discourage anyone who had ambition to attend a top university and enter a white collar professional career. I graduated from here, and felt unprepared when entering college. This is as far from college prep as you could imagine. In particular, the school was very weak with teaching writing s...
