Summary

Located in Prairie Village, Kansas, Shawnee Mission East High is a public school serving grades 9–12 in the Shawnee Mission district, with 1,737 students. Its 2023–2024 graduation rate was 94%, above the district’s 89% and the state’s 90%, while chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 29%, compared with 18% for both. The central takeaway is that East delivers strong academic results, but attendance remains a notable concern.

East is one of the strongest nearby schools across all three tested subjects, ranking second among eight nearby schools with results in each. In 2025–2026, its ELA proficiency was 67%, versus 46% statewide and 60% districtwide; math was 64%, versus 41% statewide and 57% districtwide. Science was 48%, above the state’s 38% but just below the district’s 49%—its clearest relative weakness. East also exceeded nearby-school averages of 48% in ELA, 42% in math, and 32% in science. Blue Valley North High scored higher in ELA and science, while Blue Valley Northwest High led in math. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure places East at the 73rd percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, below its overall 95th percentile. For African American Students, its latest supplied result is the 56th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 91st percentile that year.

ELA and math have improved substantially: since 2022–2023, ELA rose 25 points and math 17 points, while science fell 7 points from its earlier high. SchoolDigger ranks East 16th of 340 statewide, at the 95th percentile with five stars—up from the 91st percentile the prior year, but below earlier peaks of the 98th and 99th percentiles. East has a relatively high student-teacher ratio for nearby schools: 16.2, compared with their 15.4 average. Its 13% free/reduced-lunch rate is the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures; these are contextual details, not explanations for results. The supplied scores cover 10th-grade ELA and math and 11th-grade science, and do not include East’s 2024–2025 science result.
