Shawnee Mission has traditionally been one of the metro area’s best school districts, but it now faces the same challenges as other older suburban school districts that are losing students newer, more distant suburbs.

It’s kindof ironic that the Shawnee Mission district is declining just as the KCMO district has started to show some real improvement, especially since Shawnee Mission is now suffering from the same effects suburban sprawl that they benefitted from in the 60s and 70s.
