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.

I don't even frikin go here I am from another school (Glasgow), but Sherwood is a competitor. Since some of my old friends attend this school I won't go to harsh on the school, but you guys are so lucky you have a 100% chance of going to Baton Rough high, but we have only a 70%-80% chance of making it (depending on how good we are). To be honest Sherwoods not that bad, but you got to make your competitors look bad.

I hated it. It was so stressful. The only thing I liked was Forensics and meeting new people. Do not send your children here. It's so old looking. I feel like only some of the teachers care. They give a lot of homework and some teachers don't even accept late work. It's very hard and I had depression while I was here. I would not recommend to anyone.

My daughter attended one of the most expensive private elementary schools in Baton Rouge and is now in her second year at Sherwood Middle Magnet. She's very happy and I could go on for pages about the fantastic teac...
