Shawnee Middle School/High School

Summary:

Shawnee Middle School/High School is a public school in Springfield, Ohio, serving 687 students in grades 6-12 and part of the Clark-Shawnee Local School District. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic proficiency and graduation rates, though it faces challenges with fluctuating chronic absenteeism and uneven performance among student subgroups.

Shawnee Middle School/High School has a predominantly white student population (83.55%), higher than the state average and the nearby Springfield-Clark County school, which has a more diverse student body. Academically, the school excels, with proficiency rates exceeding state and district averages in most subjects, such as an 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 74.2% compared to 73.2% for the district and 62.1% for the state. Graduation rates are also high, ranging from 93.6% to 96.4% over the past five years.

However, Shawnee Middle School/High School has seen fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, with a high of 37.3% in 2021-2022 and a current rate of 28.2%, still higher than the state average. Additionally, while the school performs well for many student subgroups, its performance for multi-racial students and those with low socioeconomic status is relatively lower, suggesting a need to address the unique needs of these populations. Despite these challenges, Shawnee Middle School/High School remains a strong academic performer, outpacing the nearby Springfield-Clark County school in several key metrics.

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.
