GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best was the teachers my senior year and the worse was definitely the year of Covid . The only thing I would change is trying to keep teachers .

I have attended shaw for four years. Through those years there have been a lot of changes that included the teachers, renovations, and administration. Shaw has the potential to be as great as it used to be but common ground needs to be found and established in order for everyone to work together.

Shaw was a decent high school but I believe that the staff could have prepared us for life after high school a little better.

this school sucks so bad, heavy on racism, so many fights every part of the day, they don’t teach at all, this school is not a caring school what so ever and should get closed down.

Subpar conditions. This school is unorganized. The administration is a joke. Children are constantly distracted. There are too many fights. Work is not rigorous, not even for the gifted.
