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 have attended the Shawnee Heights district since third grade. When I entered Shawnee Heights High school, as a freshman, the link crew club welcomed me-and my class with open arms. I have had an upperclassman I could talk to throughout my entire high school career and this made me a lot less anxious. My teachers go above and beyond, ensuring that if I don't understand content they are available before, after, or during school to help me. Because of this my grades have prospered. Shawnee Heights High School is a great, diverse school and I am glad to have attended.
