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 was an okay experience, there is nothing special about Shawnee. Also the dress code really sucks because it is made by old white men who don't know that times change and styles change.

Teachers here are very kind and helpful. All of the students are ready for college, if they decide to go. If you plan on working right out of high school, you are also prepared. The teachers genuinely care about students' wellbeing.

Shawnee is a school full of favoritism. If your parents aren't connected to the school in some way then you might as well forget having a good experience. A lot of the teachers are more immature than the students. I personally watched a teacher laugh as an autistic girl was bullied by her favorite s...
