Summary:
The Shawnee Heights school district in Kansas consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools display a range of academic performance, with Berryton Elementary standing out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 192 out of 660 Kansas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the elementary schools generally perform better on state assessments than the middle and high schools, Shawnee Heights Middle is the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 110 out of 362 Kansas middle schools. The district's high school, Shawnee Heights High, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 94 out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to 170 out of 327 in 2022-2023, though it still performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Science proficiency.
The Shawnee Heights school district serves a diverse student population, with varying levels of racial representation and socioeconomic status across the schools. The district's spending per student is relatively consistent, ranging from $9,377 at Shawnee Heights High to $10,273 at Tecumseh North Elementary, suggesting an even allocation of resources. However, the differences in student-teacher ratios and academic performance indicate that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the variations in school performance within the district.
