Summary:
The six schools in Shawnee Heights include four elementary schools, a middle school and a high school, serving students from elementary through high school. In 2025–26, the schools’ average proficiency was slightly above the state average in ELA, math and science, but results varied widely: the gap between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools was 10 points in ELA, 23 in math and 26 in science. The most important finding is that these school-to-school differences—especially in math and science—matter more than the area-wide averages.
Tecumseh South Elementary is the broadest academic standout, leading in ELA at 55% and math at 56%, and placing second in science at 44%; it was 9 points above the state in ELA, 15 in math and 6 in science. Berryton Elementary led science at 52%, 13 points above the state. In contrast, Tecumseh North Elementary had the lowest math result, 33%—8 points below the state—while Shawnee Heights Elementary had the lowest science result, 26%, 13 points below the state. Shawnee Heights Middle was above state results across the supplied subject-and-grade comparisons. The high school’s all-grades scores trailed the state, though its grade-10 ELA result was 4 points above it.
Recent trends are generally encouraging, with notable exceptions: the six-school average rose 4 points in ELA and 3 in math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the state rose 1 and 2 points, respectively. Tecumseh South improved in all three subjects, but Tecumseh North’s math fell 2 points as the state improved, and Shawnee Heights Elementary’s science fell 9 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings also show different trajectories: the middle school rose from the 60th to the 70th percentile over three years, while North fell from the 56th to the 34th. Attendance is another point to weigh: chronic absenteeism was 34% at the high school, compared with 18% statewide, while Tecumseh South had the area’s lowest rate at 10%. All-grades results combine different grade spans, so grade-specific figures are more useful when comparing schools serving different grades.
