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.

Sherman High School isn't the best. The only positive things about it, are that it is small, so you know everyone and it is easy to get around since it is smaller. However, there are not many classes offered, there are no AP classes and no foreign language classes. I have to take my Spanish lessons online through Duolingo, I am past my 400 day mark. Most students are very "opinionated" and bigoted. It is not a very popular area, and I can see why.

Sherman High School is a typically average school. My experience over the three years I have attended could have been better. I felt as if many of my teachers could have improved in their teaching skills and curriculum. Although, the teachers have been very supportive and kind to me throughout my schooling. I hope to have a better educational experience as I go into college.
