Shawnee High School consistently ranks among the top 100-150 high schools in Ohio, with a current ranking of 98 out of 864 schools. The school's students perform exceptionally well on state assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages across all subject areas.

While Bath Digital Academy, a virtual high school in the Bath Local School District, has lower academic performance and student outcomes compared to Shawnee High School, Apollo Career Center, a public high school located just 0.93 miles from Shawnee High School, has a higher percentage of students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and a lower student-teacher ratio, but its academic performance data is not readily available for comparison. Shawnee High School's ability to sustain excellence across various metrics is a testament to its strong educational program and the dedication of its staff and community, though the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rates and lower rankings in supporting students with disabilities may be areas for further improvement.

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.
