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.

out of my absolute horrible experience at the sherman school i can attest that i only appreciate 3 teachers i had. teachers and most students are entitled/privileged who possess the belief that they deserve to be treated like royalty and you deserve to be treated like dirt. most parents are crazy toxic with their coveted belief that they are literal god. they spout ridiculous conspiracy theories, no matter how insanely stupid they are, and reward their kids even when they are bullies and torture other students. in their eyes, their kids can do nothing wrong, and when faced with the tiniest of punishment, freak out. teachers and students alike treat students of color poorly, and do absolutely nothing to stop the micro aggressions students of color face on the daily. if you are even thinking of attending the sherman school...DON'T. trust me when i say you will save yourself from a lot of trauma. and for the horrible quality of education they provide, the trauma is not worth it.

The school (at least the public facing as...

The administration here is atrocious. They speak derogatorily to parents who raise concerns and I have heard horror stories from present and many former staff members that have worked there. Zero trust.

Sherman School is incredibly impressive despite its small size and the small community it draws from for support. Our teachers (Ms. McDevitt and Ms. Davidson) appear to be fantastic educators and our children seem to love their time, here. They're learning in leaps and bounds -- and even more import...
