Sherwood Elementary School sure has changed over the years. Ever since the current principal took over, Sherwood has gone downhill quick. It used to be such a cheerful sunny place, with a glowing reputation that continued for years. Historically, Sherwood was always in the 8-9/10 range. Now, things are very different. The current 7/10 rating is a huge stretch. Slowly but surely, all the best teachers have left. Staff morale is down. Families who are able are leaving en masse- and it's not because of the pandemic. The teachers aren't teaching, and the students aren't learning. There is little classroom control, and equally, little to no consequences for the children who repeatedly misbehave. It's not safe. There is no homework, and little accountability is placed on the students academically or otherwise. The main focus is on the test scores. Children are not getting the academic, social, or emotional support they need. Parents on the whole are unhappy. All of this is directly related to the administration. It all comes down from the top. Sadly, Sherwood is no longer the safe, sweet thriving little school it once was. Sherwood Elementary School sure has changed, and sadly, it's not for the better.

I’ve had a great experience at Sherwood. The teachers truly care about their students and go the extra mile to make learning engaging and supportive. The campus feels welcoming, and there are plenty of clubs, sports, and activities for everyone to find their place. The school creates a strong sense of community, and students are encouraged to grow both academically and personally. Overall, it’s a wonderful environment for learning and preparing for the future.

I currently go here, it's a very good school! It's very diverse and very focused on it's students. Im proud to have this as my school
