All this school cares about is numbers. Student safety does not exist here and the staff( principal) only cares about pushing its bullying reputation under the rug

I have 3 children going through Shawnee. It’s an excellent school! Teachers are dedicated and hard working, students are just normal kids, very few extremes. The curriculum allows for a variety of levels of rigor. I have one kiddo who needed college prep classes and my other kiddo who is headed off to college pre-med that needed AP programs. Wherever your student is at Shawnee will meet them there

While I have a few major differences with the school’s policy, like their inability to teach LGBTQ+ sex education, their stance on student feedback, and their attendance policy, it is a very privileged school in comparison to schools on lower income areas. In addition to these differences, we also have a rigid administration that separates itself from the students, often leading to decisions that create a stressful environment. We have a staff full of quality educators and a school filled with opportunities. The teachers here are wonderful. I only wish that they would make a few key changes to enhance the environment of Shawnee High School.

They keep parents out and run the school like a boot camp. My daughter lovers her teachers, but the administration is rigid and detrimental to students that don't fit their version of ideal.

Shawnee was one of the main reasons I succeeded in college, and now as a professional. Although I was not one of the best students in High School, Mediocre at best, Shawnee had prepared me for all that I was to encounter in life. I do agree that the honor students, and athletes are praised above the average students such as myself. However, there were those educators who went above and beyond for all of their students no matter what. Two of which Mrs. Lyras the German/Spanish teacher whom I had taken for 3 years. She was not only involved in every way possible, but she worked tirelessly to engage all students and to help them succeed in their goals. The other is Mrs. Serdynski. I had taken Mrs. Serdynski for Freshman Science, and throughout my four years at Shawnee, she was always the friendliest of faculty members. Even after not having me for three years, was still interested in me as a senior, and what I was doing. Thank you to both of you. You are inspirations to me in that I only want to be as passionate with my career as you two are about yours.

We just recently moved to the area and my daughter is in her first year at Shawnee. She really seems to like it. Maybe not the best, but certainly one of the better schools in the area based on the reseach I've done.
