My daughter is starting first grade this year, but if your little one is starting kindergarten and has Mrs. Myers as a teacher you will love her! She is not only a professional teacher she is also kindhearted, patient, and caring. Also a huge asset to Elmwood is their counselor, Mr. Winkelman. He cares so much about the kids, and his experience, wisdom, and heart are evident in all he does. Truly, there is no one like him. I consider us truly blessed to have Mrs. Myers and Mr. Winkelman be a part of my daughter's education.

Both my boys graduated from here. Both went to good colleges beyond high school and with their work ethics, both landed great jobs. I had to chuckle when I saw the “Equity,” portion of the review being so low. In case you people didn’t know, outcomes are never equal. Some people have good parental examples, some don’t, good work ethic, and solid academics are the sellers for this school. They demand Shawnee excellence, and for that, I’m grateful to them. There will never be equal outcomes without penalizing the hard working, ethical, and academically motivated kid, for the sake of “dumbing down,” the curriculum, so others can achieve equal outcomes. The school boards in Va., California, Georgia, should tell us that already. Civil Service testing and other National and State Board exams should show that “dumbing it down,” isn’t the way to make people equal. There’s a huge difference between Equal Opportunity, and equal outcomes. You’d think, being “educators,” School Board, Teachers, and Parents, would all be understanding of this simple concept spelled out in the Constitution and Federal Law. Obviously not. Having said that, the three top categories will go down substantially if this great school system would ever start worrying about “equity,” of outcomes, as opposed to Equal Opportunities for all who go to Shawnee Schools.

Very nice school.Its rating should be 9.Teachers are very supportive and nice. My son is very happy and he loves his school.
