Clark-Shawnee Local

The Clark-Shawnee Local school district in Ohio is home to two schools: Shawnee Elementary School and Shawnee Middle School/High School. While both schools have their strengths, Shawnee Middle School/High School stands out as a particularly high-performing institution, ranking 222 out of 864 Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shawnee Middle School/High School boasts a strong 94.4% four-year graduation rate and consistently outperforms the state average on end-of-course assessments in subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. In contrast, Shawnee Elementary School shines in its math proficiency, with students scoring well above the state average on 3rd-6th grade math assessments. The elementary school also performs strongly in 5th grade science, with a proficiency rate of 61.8% compared to the 64% state average.

While the two schools have some demographic differences, with Shawnee Middle School/High School having a higher percentage of White students, both institutions face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 21.3% at the elementary school to 27.8% at the middle/high school. The higher spending per student at Shawnee Middle School/High School ($10,911 vs. $8,789 at the elementary school) may contribute to the school's stronger academic performance and graduation rates, but addressing the issue of chronic absenteeism remains a priority for the Clark-Shawnee Local district.
