Terrible school. The school administrators and staff do not seem to actually like children.

They were great with dealing with my daughter's educational and emotional needs. Their communication with me was fantastic and they always listened to my concerns and my daughter's concerns.

first off, the phone rule is ABSURD. it removes our safety and is completely too strict. there’s absolutely no freedom as a highschool student, which doesn’t prepare for the real world. the bathroom rule is maybe even worse. 2 people out at a time is absolutely unacceptable. mind you this school has kids from 14-18, old enough to use the bathroom like normal people. including hall monitors aswell is just abusive. don’t get me started on the people who work main office. they are SO mean making the highschool experience worse then it already is. also stalking our screen on the chromebook while working is giving middle school. if i choose not to do my work, that only affects me. there is no reason for a teacher to spend time looking at screen instead of grading or something important. now the guidance counselors is bad but could be worse. changing your schedule is top 3 hardest thing to do. it’s the most stressful aswell. treating 14-18 year olds like children isn’t helping ANYONE. they care about the phones more then ANYTHING else. i get not wanting people to use their phone while the teacher is talking, but if that student doesn’t listen or complete work, that is only on them and no one else. don’t get me wrong there are some fantastic teachers at shawnee, but some teachers are SO mean that it makes the entire school day bad. there is more mean teachers then there is average teachers. the worse thing that comes out this school is the bullying policies. don’t even worry about reporting bullying because it will get you NOWHERE. they say they care about mental health when they do NOT at all. having a wellness room doesn’t solve anyone’s problems at all. adding in real quick the 20 minutes only for the wellness room defeats the whole purpose. 20 minutes helps NOBODY. the amount of bullies at this school is crazy, because they get no consequences for their actions at all, not even a phone call home. i highly do not recommend this school, especially if you, or ur kid, is one to get bullied because this will make it 10x worse.
