Summary:
Clark-Shawnee Local is an Ohio district with two listed schools — Shawnee Elementary School (PK–6, 983 students) and Shawnee High School (9–12, 667 students) — serving 1,650 students total with no middle or alternative school listed, and the district ranks 266 of 773 in the state, at the 66th percentile with 3 stars.
For families comparing the two, the high school is the higher-ranked school but is losing momentum. It holds a 96.0% graduation rate, just below the district's 96.5%, and beats the state in six of seven End-of-Course subjects, including Biology at 81.5% vs. 67.0% and Integrated Math II at 90.9% vs. 35.3% — though that math figure likely reflects a small, specific course group rather than all students. Algebra I is the clearest warning sign, falling from 75.0% to 56.7% in one year and slipping from above the state to below it, while Geometry sits at 49.6%. The school's rating dropped from 4 stars and the 78th percentile to 3 stars and the 67th percentile. Its chronic absenteeism of 17.4% is worse than the district's 14.5% and the elementary school's 12.9%.
The elementary school is the steadier of the two, holding roughly the 53rd percentile and 3 stars. Its strength is early math: grades 3–5 all beat the state, with 4th grade at 81.1% vs. 67.3%. Upper-grade English language arts is the weak spot, with 5th grade at 64.6% vs. 70.4% and 6th grade at 46.4% vs. 56.0%, the lowest proficiency figure in this data set; 5th-grade science also trails slightly. The high school spends about 24% more per student ($10,911 vs. $8,789) and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio, while free/reduced lunch rates are similar at both schools.
