Summary:

The Shawnee Heights school district in Kansas serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with Berryton Elementary, Shawnee Heights Middle, and Tecumseh South Elementary standing out as the strongest performers.

Berryton Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages on standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with the highest proficiency rates across all grade levels. Shawnee Heights Middle also ranks highly within the state, placing in the top 1/3 of Kansas middle schools with strong test scores and a relatively low dropout rate. Additionally, Tecumseh South Elementary demonstrates high academic performance, with test scores exceeding the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics.

While some schools excel, others in the Shawnee Heights district struggle to meet or exceed Kansas-wide performance. Addressing equity gaps, chronic absenteeism, and other challenges will be important for improving outcomes across the district. The schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting potential equity issues that may need to be addressed.
