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 had a very great experience at Shawnee High School because of the group of people I was with and the classes I took. I was an active member of the music department and a student-athlete in all advanced/CCP classes, I was friends with my fellow music students and top 10 percent of my class in terms of grades. I had a wonderful time being with such accepting and intelligent individuals. The music department is very talented and determined despite being underfunded and I have had a great time over the years.

The class are great and have college opportunities the are free. The teachers care about the student, and there is an anti-bulling program that works so well. It maybe a old school with old supplies to teach but still a good high school for education.

I have not been impressed with Shawnee. It isn't terrible but it isn't great either. Hiring teachers that went to school here is ok but are they good teachers? Some I have found are not. Starting a new year and once again we have a buddy system going on and there is no gauging for quality, just that...

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...
