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.

Small school with poor administration who don't care for the students and very few academic opportunities at the school.

Sherrard high school prepared me for my college years. The only issue was some of the teachers. One of them called me out for being dyslexic in front of the whole class room. Sherrard has had to fire multiple teachers due to there lack of care or professionalism for the education system.

Small school, but is actually large. Has very bad sports, but good team building. Cliquey but also welcoming. I love Sherrard, but it's not for everyone.
