Summary

Shawnee Mission North High is a public high school located in Overland Park, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,506 students. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 45th out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shawnee Mission North High has shown a mix of strengths and weaknesses compared to other high schools in the district and the state. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 84th out of 316 Kansas high schools in 2016-2017 to 184th out of 318 in 2023-2024. This variability suggests the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent. While the school has performed well for White students, it has struggled with the performance of African American, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Kansas high schools for these subgroups. Shawnee Mission North High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83% to 89.5% in recent years, and a low dropout rate, but its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been mixed compared to the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Shawnee Mission North High's performance is generally in the middle of the pack. Shawnee Mission East High and Shawnee Mission South High have consistently outperformed Shawnee Mission North High, while Shawnee Mission West High has struggled more in recent years. Shawnee Mission North High also serves a more economically diverse student population, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's performance challenges. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.4% to 40.3% in recent years, which could be a factor in its academic performance.
