It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 46 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Shawnee Mission North High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 84th out of 316 Kansas high schools in 2016-2017 to 184th out of 318 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments (KAP) is generally below the district and state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Shawnee Mission North High's academic performance is generally lower than its neighboring high schools within the Shawnee Mission Public School District, such as Shawnee Mission East High and Shawnee Mission South High. This, coupled with the high and increasing free and reduced lunch rate at Shawnee Mission North High, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's overall outcomes. Addressing these areas through targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving the school's performance and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
