Summary:
The 62998 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Shawnee CUSD 84 district. Unfortunately, none of these schools appear to be standouts, as they all perform below state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates.
Shawnee Elementary School has the lowest test scores, with 0% of students proficient or better in math. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism at 15.1%. Shawnee High School has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 80.0% and a dropout rate of 5.6%, along with very low test scores. Shawnee Junior High School performs slightly better than the other two, but its math proficiency rates are still low, ranging from 0% to 13.6%.
Across the district, high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage (as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates of 53-65%) suggest systemic issues that need to be addressed. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the schools are struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes, pointing to the need for a deeper examination of curriculum, instruction, and school leadership. Overall, the data paints a picture of a school district that is underperforming and facing significant challenges in supporting student success.
