Summary:

The six high schools in Shawnee Mission Pub School, in the Shawnee Mission area of Kansas, include five comprehensive schools serving grades 9–12 and Project Finish, which serves grade 12. The most important finding for families is that results vary widely among the comprehensive schools: in 2025–26, the gap between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools was 26 points in ELA, 29 in math and 18 in science.

Shawnee Mission East led all three subjects, with 67% proficient in ELA, 64% in math and 48% in science—21, 23 and 10 points above state results. At the other end, Shawnee Mission North had 41% in ELA, 35% in math and 30% in science, falling 5, 6 and 8 points below the state. East also outscored the average of the other four schools by 19 points in ELA, 20 in math and 16 in science. Project Finish has no reported test scores, so these comparisons cover the five comprehensive schools.

Average ELA and math results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but not every school followed the same path. The five-school averages rose 4 points in ELA and 8 in math; Shawnee Mission West made especially strong gains of 12 points in ELA and 11 in math, while its SchoolDigger statewide percentile ranking rose from 28 to 65. In contrast, Shawnee Mission Northwest and North saw ELA declines, and North’s science result fell 10 points. Attendance is a concern across the comprehensive schools: chronic absenteeism ranged from 28% to 38%, versus 18% for the state and district. School profiles also differ: Northwest and West enroll the same number of students (1,599), yet Northwest scored 4 points higher in ELA and 10 higher in math; student-teacher ratios across the five schools are comparatively close, from 15.0 to 16.2. West and North report free/reduced-lunch rates of 56% and 54%, respectively; those figures describe school context, not the cause of results.
