I went to Academy @ Shawnee for 8th grade but even tho it was only year and there were mostly boys at school the teachers are super nice. If you don’t understand things they teach you again and you can actually learn at this school like the teachers don’t make you rush through things they let you take your time.

Middle schools cool and so is the highschool the reason this school seems so bad is because half these reviews are not in the AP classes, if youre in AP classes then its the best school you can get for engineering high/middle school. The non AP classes are bad and are more stereotypical for the area. The school may have a bad history but you have to go there to enjoy the real experience

Could not ask for a better high school experience for my son. Teachers and staff are amazing! The aerospace and aviation programs are second to none. The small school allows him opportunities to have hands on experience with high tech learning, leadership and individualized attention. Forget all the rumors and let go of your preconceived notions. Come down and see for yourself! Youll be glad you did.

Mr Aerne is the best teacher ever he is nice cool and funny. i love these school mostly because of him the school his ligit

This is a okay school. i have been there since the start of the middle school. in that time i have see a lot of how this school changed. when i started the aviation magnet and aircraft maintenance and engineering was all there . what i saw behavior wise was okay at the time but slowly it got worse towards the end of middle school they booted the maintenance program. the challenger learning center was also given the boot for not making money. freshmen year of high school i think the school might of hit a all time low. there were lots of fights and a lot of the really good teachers left. there are also locational problems with this school. last year the school was put on heightened security several times and put on lock down. . the school is old so some of the complaints about the schools conditions can come the fact the school is from the 20s. they do have a rare thing where you can get your private pilots license for free but they are losing that in 2 years.i also have to say there is a very diverse group of students at shawnee. the lunch there is horrible. the people waiting for lunch just bunch up instead of getting into a line and the food is of poor quality. i see people complain about funding but they are paying for us to get a pilots license. if you went to the middle school the content is exactly the same as we learned in fact they had so few teachers they had to get a teacher from the middle school to teach the high school and half the stuff we have done is not chemistry because we dont have recoussess or we are ahead. the aviation teacher was teaching 12 classes on a 7 class schedule which i appreciated but he had to cut people from the program.

Good basketball game vs SHS poor gym lighting

Graduated from this school and it got the Rep because of where its located. But actually Its a VERY GOOD SCHOOL

This school is the best school in the united states of america it has such advanced students and has the best teacher and staff the shool luncch is SOOO good and are program in aerospace is so advanced and NASA lovess it

Treats your Children like prison inmates. I pray everyday for Charter Schools to take over!! Look at this Jefferson County school Building ( With mostly African America students) then check out Jeffersontown High School (Jefferson County school Building that serves A mostly White students) , then tell If Something does not need to be changed.TAX money from the same JCPS POOL.

This school took changes by storm the glory days of Shawnee hailed from being one of the Best Schools before DuPont Manual to being one of the worst next to Iroquois High School to being a median between the two. I am currently enrolled as ASB PTSA/Board of Education Representative, I believe if the 4th floor was to be opened education and enrollment opportunities could double towards the success of the school.

I felt very unsafe there. There was so much violent language and behavior. The bathrooms were dirty and barley made you feel as though no one can see you. The classrooms were hot, no ac, horrible lighting. And dont get me started on those bathrooms, they were dirty, very old, covered in markers, and the stall door barley covered yourself so no one can see you. I got disrespected by not only teens such as freshmen. But senoir men who should be manly and respectful. They tried looking up my dress up the stairs. Just down disrespectful. The teachers were nice though, a little sterotypical alas. Its a shame they try their hardest to make these kids learn but most seem to not care. I feel like a prisoner there. When i went to gym they had one locked double doors and one metal gate in the halls! I had to see my consalor which the teacher knew and when i came back i couldnt even get into class! They say its to get people to stop skipping but its making me forcfully skip class! I cried so hard from so much stress here. This is my senior year, i jusst moved here and it shouldnt be like this. There was no comfort welcome at all. I pray i get my transfer to ballard. I highly suggest that school if you are into arts and music. Its very clean and in a great plain woods environment and the staff made me feel so welcome that i broke out in tears.

Im going there for six grade and none of the rumors are true. Its a food school in a bad area of town.

This schools is alright i like it and the teachers are cool

I go to shawnee and i really like it

Area 100% safe

Kids are very unbehaved. Education is average but there are literally fights every day. Dangerous location, horrible experience.

Alot of issues at this school.
