Shawnee High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Lenape Regional High School District. The district serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Evesham Township, Medford Lakes, Medford Township, Mount Laurel Township, Shamong Township, Southampton Township, Tabernacle Township and Woodland Township.[3][4] The school serves students from Medford Lakes and Medford Township.[5] The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1975.[6]

As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,616 students and 124.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.9:1. There were 71 students (4.4% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 31 (1.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

Ever since the opening of Seneca High School, the enrollment level at Shawnee has dropped, helping to alleviate the crowds the school once faced.

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 48th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[7] The school had been ranked 142nd in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 100th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[8] The magazine ranked the school 108th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[9] The school was ranked 110th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[10] Schooldigger.com ranked the school tied for 58th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 5 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (90.7%) and language arts literacy (97.4%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[11]

Athletics

The Shawnee High School Renegades[2] participate in the Olympic Conference, which consists of public and private high schools located in Burlington County and Camden County and operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[13] With 1,210 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2014-15 school year as South Jersey, Group IV for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 1,084 to 1,845 students in that grade range.[14]

In addition to nationally ranked men's soccer and women's lacrosse programs, the football, basketball, and men's lacrosse teams are consistently ranked among the top teams in South Jersey. As a part of the Lenape Regional High School District, Shawnee High School participates in many sports.

Extracurriculars

There are a wide variety of student-run organizations. Shawnee's Student Council is an award-winning member of the NJASC[44] and the NASC, the state and national student council associations. In addition, each grade has an executive homeroom that works to organize spirit week, prom, and an annual senior trip to Disney World in Florida.

The school also has an active extra-curricular arts program, including the All School Musical each spring.
